Hi,
I just read about the Summer of code program and i was happily suprised
that improving the searching facilities of Lenya was listed. I have been
working a bit with lenya the last couple of months and noticed quite a
lot of improvements that could easily be made. I would be delighted to
work on the searching facilities of lenya, implementing the proposals as
posted and possibly adding some of my own ideas.
Are there any other applications made for this project and who would be
interested in mentoring my development efforts, if it isn't too late to
make a decent proposal?
Kind Regards,
first:
are you a student? :) there are no other proposals so far.
afaik google is quite strict about this. if you are, you need to follow
the process described here:

If you would like to create a proposal for any of the above then we need
to follow the following process:
- student gains an overview understanding of the technologies involved
in the proposal
- student expands the initial project outline to a draft proposal text:
- description of problem
- description of a proposed solution
- benefits of the solution to the Apache community
- an approach
- milestones in delivery
- expected time line for delivery
- description of relevant students skills
- student and mentors work together to finalise this proposal
- proposal is submitted to project community for comment/approval
- student registers the proposal with Google via their website
The deadline for the proposal is June 14th and the refinement of the
draft proposal will probably take more than a week. So there is no time
to spare.
I look forward to receiving your initial *draft* proposal. I stress
draft as you should not feel pressured by this it is only a starting
point for our discussions. Do not waste time trying to make it perfect,
that will happen as we discuss, it is more important that you show how
much of the project you already understand so that we know where to
start discussing.

we haven't talked about mentoring yet, but i suppose it will be 2 people
on this list. the idea being to use the dev list for questions as usual,
and the mentors for other issues.
