Solr Flare is actual two pieces of software: 1) a Rails application

that uses 2) a Ruby DSL [solrb] to communicate with a Solr Server.
Is this
correct?
That is correct. I'm envisioning Flare being more about Rails
plugins than the Rails application itself, so others could easily
incorporate Solr into their own Rails applications. However, I do
think a general purpose web application will be built up around these
plugins that folks can simply point at Solr, configure a few things
(but maybe not even that), and voila, an search interface is up and
running.
Plus, the current state/status of Solr Flare is that the UI is yet
to be
developed but the communication piece works. Is this also correct?
That is correct. I'm focusing on getting the UI up and running in
prototypical stages by the end of this weekend, so others can give it
a whirl. solrb, the communication stuff, is working as is, but needs
work to handle the various query types.
What work is next?
solrb's ToDo is here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/solrb/ToDo
Flare's is here: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Flare/ToDo
