: Is anyone willing to submit an introductory talk on Solr? I was thinking about submitting two talks...
Novice: "Solr Out of the Box" Advanced: "Solr Beyond the Box" The first being an attempt at showcasing all of the features of Solr available without writing any code (just configuration and maybe some XSLT) ... loading data from CSV, dismax query parsing, facets, highlighting, date math, json output, etc., and any other cool features that get committed between now and then. I'll roabbly also talk about Flare (but that would mean needing to learn about Flare before November) The second would look at examples of how Solr can be customized without building the whole thing from scratch ... writing custom plugins, and embedding Solr in other applications. (the custom plugins part i think i can cover pretty well, but i'll need to pick the brains of people *doing* Solr embedding for the second half if the proposal is accepted) What do you guys think? -Hoss
