I was just thinking that there is now a couple of SOLR hosting providers (e.g. https://www.dotcloud.com/, but I think there were several).
Wouldn't be nice if one of them had a fully setup SOLR4 instance with the 'example' configuration loaded. Then, anybody could go experiment with it even before having an instance up. All the documentation examples could point to that instance, so even those who have SOLR instance but want to quickly check the documentation and sample output could do it. Of course, the provider could have some additional information identifying that they are providing the service and therefore getting some extremely viable business leads for their service..... Either something in Debug or in some other way. Does that sound like a good idea? I would recommend Apache to own the domain record itself - just in case - but otherwise it sounds like a win/win/win.
