On of my current research interests lays in the area of information retrieval and I would like to do a project within my University research group starting next june. I am actually studying background literature about semantic filesystem and information retrieval over local files. Being also quite interested in kernel development, I would like to propose a proof of concept that implements such techniques. My goal, though, would not be just a reimplementation of existing code, but possibly some more extensive work that combines techniques already used in other domains of II. Could this be an interesting Summer of Code proposal for the FreeBSD Foundation? I plan to write down some notes/ideas (and details) I have on a wiki starting from next week. Regards.
