It really is much better to email one of the lists rather than mailing
an individual developer directly. If I'm busy or away and so unable to
answer list mail, I won't be magically able to answer a mail just
because it was sent to a different address, whereas if you mail the list
someone else will probably be able to help.
You also managed to mail me at an address I don't advertise to the
outside world, so ended up in my big bucket of spam for several days I'm
afraid...

The HACKING file in the top-level of the xapian-core sources should
detail everything you need to know. I personally develop primarily on
Linux (Debian and Ubuntu), but any reasonably up-to-date Unix-like OS
should be fine for development.
If there's something HACKING doesn't cover, let us know and we'll
try to
fix that.
