Hi, Adriano.
Thanks for input. I've included your comments in updated proposal [1].
(previous timeline was only pattern and I was going to update it later:)).
Thanks,
Wojtek

Hi Wojtek,
nice proposal : )
Indexing should include all available contributions. File names as well
as their contents (except non readable files like Java classes) should
be indexed. Every indexed item should have link to its contribution parent.
I agree about a link to contributions...actually, if you make the
contributions the main search target, I mean, if the contribution will
be what the user would want as the results, every indexed term would
point to a contribution, so it already has a link to the contribution :
) . I only disagree when you say that Java classes are non-readable,
they are readable, they have class/method/variables/annotation names,
even a .zip is readable, you could open it and index the name of the
files contained in it, as well as the contents of this files, if readable.
- Maybe we should consider candies like Ajax hints while typing search
phrase?
I would be reeeeally cool : ), but not priority. It could be easily
added later after everything else is working : )
-- simply search for files by name
I would recommend to index file names using an specific Lucene field for
that, like "filename", so the query could be
filename:(contributionname.composite)...otherwise, if the user types
only contributionname.composite, it could look for this text in every
field contained in the index, Lucene has a special feature for that, so
it's easy to be implemented. Associating terms with a field is always
good for fieltering :)
Proposal:
> preview link (if item is readable)
If the item is not readable, a link could also be provided for
downloading : )
Could you please provide to us a more detailed timeline?
I think you should add more detailed about how the text will be parsed
and indexed. The way you do this is very important because it implies in
how the documents/contributions/artifacts can be searched and what kind
o results can be provide to the user.
Best Regards,
