New Django-Solr open source project

Fellow Optarian Sean Creeley has released a Django-Solr integration as an open source project hosted at Google Code. Django is a Python-based web framework. Apache Solr is essentially an XML and JSON API that sits on top of Apache Lucene.

Sean’s also working on our Django-Alfresco integration. I’m not sure how this project jumped in front of that one. Guess I need to take Sean out for a beer and see if I can’t influence the roadmap a bit. (Half-kidding).

If you want to see the Django-Solr stuff in action, take a look at Sean’s blog. It’s built using Django and he’s got a live example that shows the Solr integration in action.

You can expect several new Optaros-sponsored open source projects to become available throughout the year so stay tuned.

  1. I anxiously await the Django-Alfresco spawn of screeley!

    We’ll be launching our own version of that rocket in a couple weeks thanks to the sound launching-pad of code and documentation created by our good friends at Optaros. So far, so good as we prepare to unleash open-source on our company. If only I had root access…

    I think I should ask Sean to do some more mod_python compiling on Solaris for me. He really enjoys that sort of thing I hear.
