    (see comment below about rake task to use solrmarc for creating demo index)

    orig description:

    It seems to me that one of our next steps needs to be packaging solrmarc with our blacklight distro. Stanford and UVA are both using solrmarc to do their indexing, and the ruby indexer that currently comes with the plugin was only ever meant to be a placeholder. I'm volunteering to do this work, especially since I have Bob Haschart right here in the building with me to help if I get stuck.

    It seems to me we should distribute a copy of solrmarc with our blacklight distro, in keeping with our "it should work out of the box" goals. Then we can have documentation about how to compile with the default settings, how to make changes to the config and re-compile, and how to set it loose on your own data.

We're not switching for out-of-the-box indexing, because we shouldn't re-distribute solrmarc, or duplicate documentation efforts. Instead, I've fleshed out the Blacklight getting started docs over on the solrmarc wiki (http://code.google.com/p/solrmarc/wiki/BlacklightHowTo) and I've updated our demo installation instructions to link users to the BlacklightHowTo over at the solrmarc site.

Assigning this to Jamie -- what we'd really like is to populate the demo index with solrmarc, and to be able to do it from a rake task.

Bob Haschart is the solrmarc expert; Naomi knows a fair bit about it (but not so much about the latest ant scripts).

I've got a basic implementation working. Tomorrow I'm going to revisit it and give it a sanity check. I need to look at what else it needs to do and also whether the SolrMarc jar included is the right one, or whether we should strip it down a little.

This is essentially done. Open new issues for bugs, change requests, etc.
