As Flare is closely related to Solr, I think it belongs in our repository.

OTOH, it might be good to put such experimental stuff in a
"whiteboard" directory instead of "trunk", to make it clear that it's
not (yet) part of what we're releasing.

I don't think the "package" ant task doesn't currently includes
anything in "clients" so I don't think there's an issue w.r.t.
releasing.  A README note would be fine.

Would making this clear in the README files in both the solrb and  
flare directories be sufficient?

I'm happy to move things wherever folks would like.  It's certainly a  
playground of sorts for me right now, though I expect to have flare  
functional very soon.  solrb is already functional, for what its  
worth, though its not particularly fancy yet.

I'm cool with Flare being part of the Solr repository, as long as it
in a way that makes sense.  But Erik has indicated that the current
situation is temporary, so I think we can worry about that later.
There is definitely no point in throwing up administrative hurdles to
cool nascent subprojects.
