I worked on whoosh library for my own project. I have experience with django also.
I am planning to work on integrating systers search code into mailman. I believe for whole summer this task alone is very small. I'll include couple of more tasks in the proposal.
I went through search code. Code looks pretty standard. As far I understood
mailman.Searcher.IndexSchema has whoosh schema mailman.Seracher.Indexer contains indexing functions which are later used in genindex.py mailman.Seracher.Mailocate has search function for indexed content generated by genindex.py
mailman.bin.genindex.main() is the main function which indexes the archives
I am still trying to figure out how mailman client library interacts with mailman server. I know how to use client library but I couldn't understand internal working of mailman server. I have been reading the code but I wasn't able understand much. It would be awesome if you can point me to any documentation to understand this. Some api documentation or anything to understand code.
Is this integration to be done with mailman2 or mailman3?
In mailman3, the archivers are separated from the mailman core.
I was working on mm3. But systers' indexer/searcher was implemented for mailman2. So it must be easy for to integrate it with mm2.
Looks like archiver for mm3 is still in development stage. As far as I understand searcher depends on the srchiver, right? Not completely but it somewhat depends on archiver. I am not sure if searcher can be implemented without archiver. If possible I can implement for mm3 also.
