[Esip-discovery] Faceting and Custom Fields Discussion at ESIP Winter Meeting

[Mattmann, Chris A (388J)]

Hi Eric,

I was one of the former Apache Lucene/Solr PMC members. I'd be interested in what you guys are thinking
about regarding faceting, and I will be at Winter ESIP 2012.

Cheers,
Chris

I know the Thursday Workshop Session is pretty booked up, but this may be a good topic for a say 15-20 min presentation in the Friday Planning Session.
