Has anyone noticed the rails application that installs with Solr4.0? I am interested to hear some feedback on that one...

I guess you're talking about the client/ruby/flare stuff?   It's been untouched for quite a while and has not been upgraded to Rails3.  It still works, and has a lot of (in my biased opinion! :) slick features that folks can borrow from.  At one point Koji had a public demo site using it that I thought was way cool.  Flare was used as a basis for the initial version of Blacklight <http://projectblacklight.org/>.  Blacklight has since evolved dramatically into a very full featured (and mostly general purpose) way cool front-end to Solr.

I still sometimes fire up Flare for demonstration purposes (saved searches that become facet.query's, Simile Timeline integration, and pie charts demo nicely).

At this point, Flare is as-is... try it out if you are Ruby/Rails savvy.
