Regarding this project suggestion, viz., wrapping C++ iterators better in Ruby (http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ProjectIdeas#WrapCiteratorsbetterforRuby), is this project still open to being worked on, or has its status changed? I've been using Xapian at work through Python, but I am familiar with Ruby and would enjoy working on something in Ruby related to search. Thanks for building such a great library. It'...

I am trying to understand how the features are implemented ( i tried looking into the codes of porter stemming and list encoding) but I've not had any

Hi, I'm Ayush an undergraduate Computer Science student from Thapar university, India. I was fiddling with xapian since the morning and trying to understand the code and internals of Xapian. I tried implementing the bite sized project idea posted here: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ProjectIdeas#AddnewOmegaScriptcommandtodoasubstringsearch but could not understand what needs to be returned when this command is called. This line is not so clear to me: expand to the offset of the first occurrence of fish from the start of the string if $query, or to if $query doesn't contain the substri...

Hey guys, I had introduced myself earlier on IRC. I talked to Parth and had a brief chat with Olly, but just to re-iterate I'm Tejas Nikumbh, and I'm interested in contributing to Xapian for GSoC this year. I'm specifically interested in letor and weighing schemes projects. I've been able to build xapian on my machine without any errors via the Guidelines on the Hacking

...My speciality lie in Information retrieval, machine learning and data mining. In order to get hands on experience with real world information retrieval systems, I would like to contribute to the Xapian project. I have been going through some of the project ideas in https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas. I am interested on the project "Clustering of Search Results" since I also have some experience with clustering in machine learning. Would you be able to let me know the status of this project?? Once I get familiar with its codebase and the current system status, I can think of possible...

Student applications closed about 13 hours ago. Thanks to all the students who applied to us. We've made a start on reviewing proposals - please keep an eye open for emails or IRC (if you're on IRC) as we may have further questions for you. One general note - like many orgs in GSoC, we do expect students to contribute a patch as part of their application. This is very helpful as it

...f you can't think of something, feel free to talk to us, or take a look at the list of smaller project ideas on the wiki - at least then we can see how well you can work with the Xapian code, and that you can build the code and produce a patch suitable for merging: https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ProjectIdeas We may also want to discuss your proposal with you. Please do respond if we get in touch - there's not a lot of time to chase answers. Cheers, Olly P.S. This is also really the last chance for anyone interested in mentoring to step forward.
