Since the original authors abandoned acts_as_solr a while ago, this has sort of become the mainline branch for new changes. I took Luke Francl’s version, added a few features of my own, and also a new and fast unit test suite that doesn’t test integration with Solr and Rails, but only the functionality itself.

Currently there’s a rework of the plugin in progress on the [refactoring](http://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr/tree/refactoring) branch.

Contributing

Patches are most welcome of course. If you submit a pull request, please be sure to include tests for your change. If it’s a bigger one, a functional test would be much appreciated.

Documentation

You can find a reasonably up-to-date [RDoc](http://mattmatt.github.com/acts_as_solr/rdoc/) on the [acts_as_solr website](http://mattmatt.github.com/acts_as_solr/).
