sir, Till now I was confident enough to handle this project in the summer but the only thing which I had a little concern was the algorithm that I proposed. The thing is previously while writing the proposal I did not read much research papers on clustering, just the few I read and an idea strike to me and I wrote the proposal and discussed with you. But for last few days I was searching for the publications to see weather the exact algo I proposed is already being done or not. And now my confidence has increased because I have found papers on clustering using LSI (with good performance and results of algorithm) and very similar to what I proposed. The one paper ( based on lingo algorithm) I have already included in the proposal. Now the problem is I have not used Xapian library before, yesterday only I installed Zlib (prerequisite for xapian) and xapian in my system. As you said in the previous mail that its good if we work on some patch, so it would be great If you can help me what should I do now? should I use the xapian library to get familiar with it or I should read the documentation and code to figure out the patch? thanks Murtuza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Note that you're leaving it rather late to start working on a patch, so if you're going to do it, you need to really get on with it. Although the final announcement isn't until the 22nd, we need to make decisions rather sooner, so that there's time to resolve the cases where a student has applied to two orgs and both want to accept him or her. Cheers, Olly
hello sir, Sorry to start very late!, I was busy in my college work because it's ending of semester. Now I am reading through the xapian core and trying to understand the code base. Initially I was wondering here and there but now I am following the HACKING file from git repo (its really great source to start understanding the xapian api) and very late but now it sounds like I am on right track.
