similar to: GSoC 2016 Project: Implement Bindings for R

Hi James, As you suggested I started developing a project proposal and have currently completed the "Project Details and Project Implementation" sections. It'd be great if you could kindly give me some feedback on it. Also should I send it via this public mailing list or is there any other means of sending it to you? Regards, Amanda Jayanetti On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 10:51 PM,

Hi James, Based on your suggestions, I improved the 'project details' and 'project timeline' sections of my proposal. Could you kindly review it and let me know if it requires further improvements.

Amanda -- I wouldn't worry too much about getting the final details of the suggested API 'right' at the proposal stage. API design is a subtle and often hard job, so if your project is accepted we'd expect you to work with the

Let us know if you run into any problems (likewise anyone

Hi James, Here's a link to my project proposal, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwR_mIaYtm8TT1U1S2dLbFlDUzQ/view?usp=sharing Could you kindly give me some feedback on it. There's an upcoming release at my internship place, so I'm kind of busy with some work here, however I will manage to develop a prototype before the end of this month, I hope that will strengthen my proposal. (My

Thanks a lot for the feedback James. Will work on the suggested improvements and upload a better version soon. For now, I'll upload the same proposal in GSoC website.

Could you kindly tell me what could be causing this? You probably need to specify XAPIAN_CONFIG: $ ./configure

The best way of thinking of this is that changes via the github web interface are like changes someone

Will upload the proposal as soon as it gets accepted. You should be able to upload a proposal while the proof of enrollment is still awaiting review. Cheers, Olly

Hi all, I developed the basic structure of xapian_index() function which enables the content of a data frame to be indexed with Xapian search engine library. I pushed it to a git repository at https://github.com/amandaJayanetti/RXapian. It'd be a great favour if Mr. Dirk Eddelbuettel as well as other interested developers could kindly review the function and give me some feedback on it.

Hi all, I completely facilitated simple indexing with xapian_index function, and also developed a DatabaseWrapper. Only a few more modifications are remaining to completely facilitate simple search with xapian_search function.

Hi, I'm currently reviewing my originally proposed API design and I added two new fields(idField, stemmer) to the xapian_index() function. As my next task I'm planning to determine the output data structure and format of xapian_search() function. Afterwards I will focus back on xapian_index() function and review the format of valueSlots parameter. An outline of 'simple indexing'

I believe there are few misunderstandings and I apologize for the lack of clarity in my explanations. I will share a draft with detailed explanations on the way I'm planning to map R parameters into Xapian in a google doc. It will be much convenient to discuss and clarify R API related issues in that way. Best regards, Amanda > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Even a stored CSV can be conveniently converted to a data frame. There are few

We are equally excited about working with you over summer. I think you missed reply by Olly on IRC, you can find it in logs here: https://botbot.me/freenode/xapian/2018-04-24/?msg=99336093&page=1 - olly icebyte[m]: i think that probably needs to go through SFC ( https://sfconservancy.org/) as the "legal entity" - 2:05 am
