------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, the MoinMoin wiki (what the ASF and Cassandra use as their wiki engine) 
is another GSOC project that is a good candidate for Cassandra work.  One of 
their top projects is to have better item metadata indexing and search.  You 
could probably propose working on this type of project to Apache/Cassandra or 
MoinMoin.  We know the ASF would like to have a better wiki (Cassandra's is 
kind of slow as you may notice) with improved searching and filtering options 
and performance.  The ASF runs the same MoinMoin instance for a lot of the ASF 
projects, so this would have a big impact, make the ASF happy, and get you some 
good Cassandra/Python experience.

> http://twissandra.com/ is a demo Cassandra application built on django + 
> pycassa.  It's a great Cassandra showcase and very useful for people learning 
> Cassandra.  We could use more of those.
> Jake Luciani suggested one that presents full-text search of Wikipedia using 
> Lucandra (see 
> http://blog.sematext.com/2010/02/09/lucandra-a-cassandra-based-lucene-backend/
>  and http://github.com/tjake/Lucandra).  Feel free to propose other 
> application ideas here.
> Rackspace is willing to provide a VM to deploy on for a live demo, but 
> remember, to be really useful this needs full DIY instructions, the final 
> product is not the demo but the code + instructions.
