This looks good overall and thanks for migrating it to something that more developers can contribute to.
I started solr (trunk) in cloud mode using the bin scripts and opened the new admin UI. The section for 'cores' says 'No cores available. Go and create one'. Starting Solr 5.0, we officially stated in the change log and at other places that the only supported way to create a collection is through the Collections API. We should move along those lines and not stray with the new interface. I am not sure if the intention with this move is to first migrate everything as is and then redo the design but I'd strongly suggest that we do things the right way.
