GSoC
Hello,
My name is Ivan Biggs and I'm very interested in working with Lucene for my
Google Summer of Code Project. I've a lot of the4 relevant documentation
and currently have my eye on the issue found here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-466?filter=12326260&jql=labels%20%3D%20gsoc2014%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Open
My only concern is that I want to be sure that this issue would be
considered adequate work for a project in of itself or if I should plan on
tackling perhaps two of these type of issues. Furthermore, if anyone could
point me in the direction of a possible future mentor, it'd be much
appreciated as I'm not quite sure why this particular issue has an assignee
listed. Also, since Apache doesn't have any sort of template or similar
guidelines for proposal submissions available, any general help or advice
as to what sort of standards I should be adhering to would be great too!
Thanks,
Ivan

Sorry, yes, please add comments/ideas straight on the Jira issue, i.e.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-466 in this case.
Hmm, I'm not sure how to find past proposals. The links to these
proposals, e.g. from my past blog post, and from past Jira issues,
seem to be broken now.

First, thanks so much for getting me pointed in the right direction! I
assume you mean straight on Jira? Also do you have any clue where one would
be able to find past proposals for Lucene?
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,
It's best to just add a comment onto LUCENE-466 with your
ideas/questions specific to that issue; other more general questions
should be sent to this dev list.
Since the big part of that issue (supporting minShouldMatch in
BooleanQuery) was already done, I think fixing query parsers to handle
it is important but isn't an entire GSoC project? Or, perhaps it is
(we have quite a few query parsers now...). But I think doing another
improvement in addition would be the right amount...
The mentor assignment is somewhat ad-hoc, sort of like dating ;) You
should add comments to the issue, adding ideas, asking for
suggestions, asking if anyone will mentor, and then see if any
possible mentors respond. I'm not sure why the issue is assigned to
Yonik; I don't think he's actually working on it.
You could try looking at past GSoC proposals at Apache Lucene to get an idea?
