Just wanted to let everyone know that the demos should be runnable/working.
The demos are located here:

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

FLARE - faceted browsing/searching using Rails and Solr
For the Flare demo, execute (within the rails directory):

rake flare:demo

This should start-up Solr via Jetty, index an RSS feed from
mystrands.comand start up Rails. Please wait for the indexing to
complete before browsing
to:
http://localhost:3000/documents

BLACKLIGHT - Built on top of Flare, also provides code for working within
library domain (MARC, Z3950 etc.)
For the Blacklight demo, execute (within the rails directory):

rake blacklight:demo

This should start-up Solr via Jetty, index a demo MARC file and start up
Rails. Please wait for the indexing to complete before browsing to:
http://localhost:3000/documents

Please let me know if you have any problems with dependencies/bugs, or
suggestions!

These are just demos, and everything is still in alpha stage...
API/interfaces WILL be changing.

Matt
