A few reasons for this - it wasn't getting community attention besides the
efforts I put into it, and there was a security vulnerability (which was
fixed), and Solr itself was being trimmed down to make extra features like
this a plugin.
With it being open source, please feel free to fork it and update it to the
latest version of Solr, and solicit others to resurrect it.
And Jan just pointed to another project near and dear to my heart,
Blacklight, which has a large and vibrant user and developer community
around it.
