Hi, Calofir! If you've been through the GSoC guide then you should
have a running version of Xapian; have you found a 'bite size' project
or bug you want to work on as an initial contribution? It really does
help iron out things like process and coding standards, so it's a good
idea to pick that up as soon as possible.

In terms of the matcher optimisations project, what questions do you
have? There are a few tickets linked from the project description, so
you should read through those and then write a project proposal that
includes either those (or some of those) or anything else you think is
a good idea to look at once from looking at how the matcher currently
works. (Almost all the code is in xapian-core/matcher.)
