Hey everyone,

I will be doing a Solr night on Thursday (tomorrow) night at VHS.
Solr is a search server based on Lucene which simplifies the process
of indexing data and creating search interfaces.   It is very powerful
and can do cool things like weighted multi-field searches,
highlighting and faceting.

I am planning it as somewhat of a workshop, I recommend you bring a
laptop with Java installed, and you should have a general idea of how
to work with XML or JSON.  I will bring a disc with some sample data
you can use, or you can bring your own data in CSV format.

Hope to see you there!

~James
