[Blacklight-development] Flare and Blacklight - Demos

[Matt Mitchell]

Hi Jonathan,

The Flare demo is not using the old routine. It's using a rake task that
queries a live web service for XML. The Blacklight demo is using the old
system, but it's been cleaned up quite a bit. In fact the Blacklight Demo
indexing implementation is now in one file:

http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/svn/rails-plugins/blacklight/trunk/lib/blacklight/demo/uva.rb

I put it in with the Blacklight plugin because it could be a valuable
reference for someone trying to use the plugin from scratch.

Hope this helps!

Matt
