Xapian devel - Mar 2016 - GSoC 2016 Project: Implement Bindings for R

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.

Regards,
Amanda

Seems like it takes a lot of time for 'proof of enrollment' document to
get

That sounds like a good idea -- I'm sure they have a huge number of
students to check into the system. Let us know if you run into any
problems (likewise anyone else who has difficulties creating

You should be able to upload a proposal while the proof of enrollment is
still awaiting review.
