When acts_as_solr was abandoned by its old maintainer, there was a lot of confusion about what to do with the code. Unfortunately, no one was named as the maintainer of the project, and no one could push to the official repository. It didn't help that the code was moved to GitHub with git newbie problems, like directories not being in the repo, that stopped it from working out of the box. Eventually, things sorted themselves out (here's the maintainers' fork: http://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr/tree/master http://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr/tree/master) but there are still frequent questions on the mailing list asking why the plugin doesn't work. It would have been better to name a maintainer who could manage things. I hope Capistrano can avoid these problems.
