I don't actually envision using Streamlined as-is, but
rather being
Streamlined-like. Streamlined is very ActiveRecord
dependent. While
I've yet to settle on exactly what Flare is, my current
thinking is
that it'll be a Rails plugin that becomes the
"Streamlined of Solr".
I think there will be more to it than just that, and being
Rails-
centric is not the goal, but rather one nice integration
point to
have. I think what we build will be applicable to Camping
and the
next cool Ruby web framework too.

Currently I don't foresee using any other Rails plugins as
Flare
dependencies. Though in a similar vein as Streamlined, we
ought to
roll in the acts_as_solr feature similar to the
acts_as_ferret plugin.
Anyone out there integrating an ActiveRecord model and
Solr/solrb?
If so, would acts_as_solr make your life easier?
