[Xapian-discuss] Schedule for 1.0?

My plan is to start using it by the end of January (I got many things in
the pipeline until then). I was hoping I could directly use Xapian 1.0
so as to benefit from a non-patched version that I could use in
production a little bit after.

I am head developer for an GNU/GPL e-learning system called Dokeos. So
far, I have used mnogosearch for our indexing need, but as it is an
open-source product, distribution of the indexing engine is prevented by
the fact that mnogosearch has a retrictive license (non GNU/GPL for
Windows usage). Furthermore, it requires an indexing engine (coded in C)
to be running to actually crawl the server every now and then which, all
in all, is a nightmare to distribute. However, I am satisfied with the
indexing capabilities of mnogosearch and it handles UTF-8 as well.

One of the biggest concerns I have about this indexing is that I have to
provide a result to a user only if the user has the permission to access
the resource, which means we have to index everything and then know
where the document was found to actually provide it as a result, only if
the user can view that location.

Anyway, I'll come back later about all this, I'm pretty sure I can find
a way.
