Hi Everyone,
Today I took a couple hours and attempted a backport of ApacheSolr D6 to D5. This will bring all of the cool features that D6 has to D5. The patch needs work. It doesn't yet work. If anyone has time to chip in and work on the indexing of nodes (currently not working) that'd be great. With a little momentum I think we can do the backport relatively quickly, after which keeping the two in sync will be much easier.

Time to make production-worthy?
Robert,
Would you mind giving an honest estimate of how much work needs to be done to bring the D5 version to a stable, production-worthy release? We have five medium-to-large sites that are currently on D5 and are trying to decide if it's worth the effort before we get the time to migrate them to D6 (six+ months probably). Thanks.
Damien
A couple of developer days
There's still a fair amount left to do. If you're familiar with the code then it's a couple of developer days. Someone unfamiliar with the code might need a couple extra days to ramp up.
Is there still interest in this?
I am interested in doing this; however, only if there's a bounty. =| The good thing is I could backport the current DEV version which has gained lots of great features since this post =)
(At work it's more probable than not than we'll upgrade our sites to D6 instead of helping out with backporting.)
