<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br><div>While searching for a project which matches my interest andskill level, I found this project named Matcher Optimization. This project is really challenging and excting from my view point and I would like to be a part of this project. <br>
<br>Optimization techniques metioned in the reference links provided will take some time for me to have a good understanding about them. But I am trying to get my head into it.</div><div><br></div><div>I am a Computer Science undergraduate so I have a good knowledge about programming languages, algorthms, copilers, logics and data structures, but still I'm not into real world development sphere.<br>
<br>So it was a bit difficult for me to get my hands on the real code, as I couldn't find a section which was completely dedicated to New Developers Just Trying To Start with Xapian.<br><br>Also, since my timezone is +5:30 GMT, so it's not very easy to get a quick response on IRC. Hence, it's really difficult for student like me, who needs help regarding alost everything.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So I would be thankful to you if I can get any kind of help regarding my step towards learning more about deleoping for Xapian.<br><br><br></div><div>Some idea about the contents of the section that I need is:</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For Beginners :</div><div><br></div><div style>Prerequisit for developing for Xapian.</div><div style>Step wise installation of tools for development including source code?</div>
<div style>Detailed build instruction for build.</div><div style>How to start with code evaluation?</div><div style>How to fix a bus[possibly a start bug like "Hello Xapian" :-) ] ?</div><div style>How to submit a bug?</div>
<div style>Possible reading material for reference regarding development and for increasig your knowledge about searching.</div><div style>etc.</div><div style>[These are just what I could think of, there could be many other thing as well.]</div>
