Comment:

 At openzim/Kiwix, a decade ago, we just have copied a bit of Omindex' code
 to index our HTML documents. At that time this was quite straight, but now
 would like to do things a bit more properly, ie. having the Xapian
 document parsing features of Omindex as a library. See
 https://github.com/openzim/libzim/issues/377 for more details.

 The problem is not super urgent but important and we are willing to help
 by:
 * Emphasize the importance of this for us... and in general (surprisingly
 I don't see a lot of comments here)
 * Being an integration sparring partner at the early stage
 * Compilation tests on many OSses
 * We might be able to provide help for the Deb packaging as well

 What is the current status on this really old feature request?
