Xapian devel - Dec 2019 - Request to be allotted a project or a feature in pipeline

To whom it may concern,

I'm Utsav Parmar, pursuing my B. Tech in Computer Engineering. I like to
work on new technologies and am currently looking for open-source projects
to contribute to.

As it may turn out, I've got a college project in my curriculum this
semester under ?Software Development Practice?, and I'd like to work upon a
project and/or a feature in pipeline spanning over 3 months in Xapian
Project as a part of the same college project. My mentor cum professor has
already agreed for the same, given that I get approval from one of the
maintainers. So, if possible, will you please allot me something to work
upon?

Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Utsav Parmar

Hi Utsav,

We don't know what your interests or skills are, so I don't think it
makes sense for us to just assign you something to work on.

I would suggest you take a look at our list of project ideas for GSoC
and see if there's anything you like the look of.  These are intended
to be suitable for a student working for about 3 months full time, so
if you would be looking for something not full-time for 3 months, we'd
probably need to narrow the scope.

If nothing appeals from that list, please give us some idea of the sort
of thing you'd like to work on, and what your existing skills are.

Cheers,
    Olly
