Paul,
I'd very much like to be involved in the strategic planning for the rebuilding of C4/Search to handle solR. I'm eager to see it as a valid option along side Zebra, for libraries who can support the heavier-weight search system. I think there is also a lot more we can milk out of Zebra with a more generalized and otherwise cleaner search API. I'm free for IRC meetings usually between 12:00 and 22:00 UTC, but could go later if need be.
