Background:: I'm and undergraduate at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb. I speak Croatian, English and German. My last project was a html, javascript/jquerry facebook aplication for an event but I mostly program with c++. I'm very intrested in learning how search engines work. I am very flexible and still searching for a career path that might define finally what i might do in the future.
Project title:Improvements to debian search
Project details: Trying to implement newer methods into the search engine on the websites http://lists.debian.org/search.html and http://search.debian.org/ , as well as a spelling correction feature or even a autocompleat feature.
Benefits to DebianCreating a better search engine equals an easier life to Debian users as well as Developers
Project schedule: My semester ends 3.7 That would be the ideal starting time for me if necessery i could also start earlier. As for the project time i'm not so familiar with search engines so i'm expecting a lof of work hours.
Exams and other commitments: I have exams starting from 17.6 to 3.7 .
Other summer plans: I have plans for a vacation for 1 week.(willing to cancel if necessary)
Why Debian?: I volunteer in Klub near my Faculty for a Computer Science Section. There i came first in contact with linux distributions. Right now I am using Arch but i had ubuntu and mint before. My friend uses Debian and I'm thinking about changing distributions again.
Other GSoC projects:Right now this is the second proposal I am writing. The first one went OGRE for particle engine rendering. I will probably make one more after browsing through the offers.
