Xapian devel - May 2020 - GSoC 2020 Project : Text Extraction Libraries

Hello
I am Parth Kapadia, a computer science undergrad studying in Institute of
Technology, Nirma University, India.

I have been given the opportunity to work with Xapian in GSoC 2020 and have
selected the project "Text Extraction Libraries" to work on.
This project aims to add support for various new file formats to Omega
using libraries such as libarchive, libcdr, libpagemaker etc.
You can find my detailed proposal here : (which is still changing)
https://github.com/Exter-dg/xapian-gsoc-proposal/blob/draft/proposal.rst

In case you have any idea or suggestion for the project I would be grateful
for your input in the same.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Parth

This is promising to see you will work on this specific topic.

EPUB support is on the top of my personal list. There is a ticket and
even a draft PR at https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pull/235.

Kind regards
Emmanuel
