With the second workshop, we released the alpha version of
our search client. Not much of the projected functionality is present, but it does provide the general framework that will be extended with various plugins. The
second workshop, next to being the official release event of the client, is also the starting point of more community involvement.
Because that is what we need right now: people who care about the project and want to help out in making it a reality. Our paid developer Robin Gareus will be leaving in one or two months (unless we manage to secure further funding before that time), so the project will have to be able to sustain itself.
Although we do need programmers, there are a lot of other tasks where we could use your help. If you are wondering where you can help out, check out the
TechnicalTodo and
TheoreticalTodo. Also, make sure to subscribe to our discussion mailing list to keep up to date with current efforts.
All in all, the workshop was a succes, despite the low attendance. It was almost a 30 degrees celsius in Amsterdam, not the best weather to sit inside behind a laptop screen. Thanks to all who did come regardless!
