Xapian devel - Mar 2013 - Getting Started with Xapian Socket codebase

Hi everyone,

This is Ankit; currently final-year Computer Science undergrad at Panjab
University, India. I am well versed in C++ and have a pretty decent
understanding of sockets. I successfully completed GSoC last year for IDI,
project titled - Google App Module for ATutor.

Quite recently, I have been working on the project idea - Replacing Xapian
socket code with ZeroMQ. This is to inquire about what do I do next?

Is there some documentation for the Socket codebase that I can use as a
reference or any open tickets/patches, that I can work on?

Any help/suggestions is highly appreciated.

You don't say what you've done so far, but if you haven't already,
I'd
suggest reading up on ZeroMQ, and looking at the existing code in Xapian
(which is mostly in xapian-core/net/).

The remote backend protocol and replication protocol are documented
here:

http://xapian.org/docs/remote_protocol.html
http://xapian.org/docs/replication_protocol.html

The socket-related tickets I am aware of are:

http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/374
http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/546
