[Xapian-devel] GSOC 2012: Dynamic Snippets and QueryParser Reimplementation

[Sean Mikalson]

Hello,
My name is Sean Mikalson. I am a second year Software Engineering student
with a combined degree in Philosophy. I am interested in participating with
Xapian in GSOC this year and a couple of projects have initially caught my
eye:

   - Dynamic Snippets
   - QueryParser Reimplementation

I have good working knowledge in C/C++, Java and SQL (specifically
Transact-SQL). In order to determine where my skills and interests are best
suited, as well as to provide the best proposal possible for my
application, I would like to get better acquainted with the Xapian code
base. I have looked at the the FAQS/Snippets link for Dynamic Snippets and
have explored the QueryParser documentation and the source code for
QueryParser, all the information provided on the ideas page.

Is there a way that I can modify and play around with the code on my own
machine in order to really get familiar with how the code works? Any one
want to discuss the above project ideas in more depth? After I do some
exploring of the code I am sure I will have questions and ideas!

Thanks,

Sean Mikalson
