Greetings, I am Iti Shree, sophomore year student pursuing Information and Technology.I was browsing through Xapian GSoC 2019 Ideas Page and found a really interesting project - "Matcher Optimisations" I have done quite a few projects in C++ and C source. Previous summer I worked for apertus Association in GSoC and my project was in C. Here is my github profile link: https://github.com/nmdis1999 I am looking for something new and challenging this summer and this project got my attention.However, I would like to know if you guys expect any sub project/task to be done before proceeding with the project proposal. Thanks for your time and consideration. Regards, Iti Shree -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, Sorry we missed your question on IRC. It's fine to ask questions on IRC, but you need to be prepared to stay connected a bit longer.

It can be a first step towards the project (in this case you could look at addressing a simple case of one of the optimisations for example), or just some small change unconnected to the project. There are some links to suggested smaller projects in our GSoC Guide: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC%20Guide Cheers, Olly
Thank you for your response and reference. And surely, I will try to stay longer on irc and usually I check logs in case I miss anything :) I started reading more info from the link you provided.I'm going out of town for a while, so will be back with good knowledge and questions on irc soon! Have a great day. Regards, Iti On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 6:04 PM Olly Betts <olly at survex.com> wrote:> Hi, > > Sorry we missed your question on IRC.
