[Xapian-discuss] GSoC 2011 - Interest

[Abdul Rauf]

Dear Olly Betts


I am very excited to contribute in open source community through the
platform of Google Summer of Code 2011. I have visited the ideas of “Xapian”
at http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas for GSoC 2011. I am
interested in working on “Improve Existing Bindings”. The reason for my
interest is that I have previously worked on .NET related projects both in
VB and C#. I also have worked on C++ projects.


I am writing to let you know my understanding of the project and required
knowledge of technologies. I would like your feedback on it. My
understanding of the requirements is as follows:


   - To study current bindings. In case of C#, I am studying this link (
   http://xapian.org/docs/bindings/csharp/)
   - To implement improvements in the current bindings.

Would you please refer me some material to study in this regard? Also what
kinds of binding improvements are required by Xapian? I look forward to your
response.
