So, any one of these is interesting, and I'd love to see them done right
for the summer.
I'm uninterested in the multi-protocol libraries; I don't see the value
for our project.
- When a notice is posted, after being checked for conditions like
is_local etc. it is sent to this daemon, which then matches its
conents against the inverted index file, the daemon then sends any
matches to a plugin hook say, RealtimeSeachHit.
When I've talked to people about real-time search, they call this "the
dumb way to do it."
This is an extremely advanced project to do -- I'd expect a graduate
student. It will require considerable research into the state-of-the-art
of real-time search.
3. Twitter Lists!
This is one of the easy ones!
This would be a good one to take on, especially given your experience
with our software. I don't like your design, but we can discuss that
further.
I think this idea is the most intriguing of all, mainly because I
know little about search engines.
It would basically be taking our people search code from StatusNet and
expanding it so it could be used for many many sites.
Anyways: in general, I'd be happy if you took on the Twitter lists or
one of the IM plugins; less happy about the search stuff.
