[nycbug-talk] Slides, History and Thanks

[Matthew Story]

I've attached the slides from last night in PDF format, they are also
available on Google Drive here:

The demos are available here:

There were some questions around the history of Xapain, a complete(ish)
history is available:

http://xapian.org/history

The project has it's roots in the Muscat project, dating back to 1984.

There seemed to be some interest in making a real port of this tool.  I may
try to spend some time cleaning it up and wrapping it in a port if there is
interest.  Ultimately a C++ implementation would probably be best.
