Google's Summer of Code is happening again this year. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We decided to apply some time ago, but applications for orgs are now open and need to be in by this coming Friday (20th) so we need to get things a bit more organised. Accepted orgs are due to be announced on March 2nd, and students can apply between March 16th and

Hi All, When are the XS-based Perl bindings going to be deprecated in favour of the SWIG bindings? Please remove the dead RHEL RPMs from: http://xapian.org/download I've built RPMs for RHEL5/CentOS5 (with a different signing key) here: http://rpm.eprints.org/xapian/5/ RHEL4 is eol and shouldn't be used. For my own convenience I have written an RPM for the repository: rpm -ivh

The wiki roadmap page (http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/RoadMap) suggests we aim to start a new stable release series every one to two years. However, we're not doing a good job of implementing that - in fact we're just about to hit 5.5 years since 1.2.0 was released. And that's really much too long - we've built up a pile of nice new features which it's hard for most people to

I installed Xapian and Omega following the instructions for the RHEL 5 RPM package found at xapian.org. I was going to perform the quick start instructions, but there is not "omnidex" for the omindex --db DBPATH --url / WEBPATH command. The quick start also mentions running omega from usr/lib/omega/bin; however that was not created as well using the RHEL 5 RPM. Is there a walkthrough on

I am interested in the project 'Learning to Rank Click Data Mining', and here is my current understanding about this project: 1. where can we get your click data. we can extend the omega to supports log the user's search and clicked documents 2. the specific click data information and format. Based on some paper and public query dataset format(AOL search query logs[1] and Sogou

I agree. There are a few gotchas, as well

Gaurav, James and I are attending the GSoC reunion in San Jose, California, USA this weekend, so if anyone else is around, do come and say hello. We're also going to be holding a documentation sprint on Monday and Tuesday next week in San Francisco. If anyone else wants to take part (remotely would work) let me know. The only plan we have so far is to come up with a plan over the weekend.

Hey, all. Got an SNOM 820 in the other day to kick the tires. As with many phones, provisioning it was a bit of a PITA. The biggest problem, as far as I could tell, was that their firmware just doesn't seem that stable, and is sometimes hard to get to. - I managed to corrupt the firmware twice; fortunately, instead of bricking the phone, there's a fairly easy-to-use "rescue

hi,? I'm working on a research project where we're looking at the changing resonances in femur bones during hip replacement operations. basically, I've got a spreadsheet with one column listing frequencies in 5Hz bands and 3 columns showing the amplitude of that frequency when the bone is loose, medium to tight (referring to the tension of the reamer/chisel creating a cavity for the

Hi, While searching for a project which matches my interest andskill level, I found this project named Matcher Optimization. This project is really challenging and excting from my view point and I would like to be a part of this project. Optimization techniques metioned in the reference links provided will take some time for me to have a good understanding about them. But I am trying to get my

Hello, I have summarized the topics for the IO controller mini-summit and written the ideas seen in the mailing list. - The place where IO controller should be implemented - Block layer in conjunction with the IO scheduler - Common layer right above the IO scheduler - CFQ enhancement. - Both block and common layer, users can select whichever controller they want. - VFS layer -

Google's "Summer of Code" is on again. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We had a brief discussion on IRC, and we have enough potential mentors to make it worth applying again. Org applications are open Feb 3rd-14th. Accepted orgs are announced on Feb 24th, and students can apply between March 10th and 21st, but the keen ones have already
