Hey guys,I am a 3rd year Computer Science undergrad student.I a extremely
interested in contributing code to the XAPIAN project. The work you people
do sounds extremely fascinating and interesting.Can someone just give me a
brief overview of how to proceed ?. I Can code in C,C++ and Python and
have  experience in Natural Lanuage Processing.Am also quite comfortable
with NLTK and using  Wordnet.Am also good a matrix algebra and probability
theory. However,am new to Information Retrieval and would really appreciate
if someone could give me some help on how to start with IR.Thanks .

You still need to go to school, and you will know when you ready, when you will
