Hi,

It sounds like you grabbed the 0.2 "release"? Make sure you get the trunk:

http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/

That's where the latest code is. A new release will be out ASAP, but that
may be a few weeks away.

So, download the trunk, checkout the README and let us know how things go.
And thanks for checking out Blacklight!

Matt

TEI files are being indexed into Blacklight at UVa, using custom Ruby  
indexing code (last I touched it).  I think this also indexed EAD  
files, or at least other types of XML files.

In my first prototypes, I also indexed some structured data (Tang  
dynasty poems, author, title, body, style in both Chinese and English)  
scraped from an HTML page <http://etext.virginia.edu/chinese/tangeng.html 
 >

Blacklight itself is capable of handling any type of content tossed  
into the Solr index.  With the flexible schema, it is easy to write an  
indexer that outputs *_text and *_facet fields.

Indexing PDF files, of course, requires a PDF parser.  As far as I  
know, that isn't being done at UVa currently.  But there are pieces  
out there in the open source, and even in Solr's JIRA issue tracker,  
to parse PDF files.  In other words, no problem on indexing them and  
incorporating them.

The University of Virginia Library is creating a new department to  
support its "Online Library Environment," which includes all aspects  
of our ILS and the Blacklight effort.  The first URL above advertises  
the position of Director of this department.  The second is for a "web  
services programmer" devoted in large part to Blacklight.

Applications are solicited through the Jobs at UVA online system.
