[Nutch-dev] [announce] Parser-Plugin for MS PowerPoint slides

[Strittmatter, Stephan]

Dear Nutch developers,

 

during the last weeks I investigated into Nutch and found, that currently MS PowerPoint slides are not supported. I am not shure, but I have also not found any hint within the mailing lists, that someone already has implemented a parser plugin for this document type.

 

I created such a plugin based on POI which is working fine for latin char based text. There are currently some problems with slides containing other chars like chinese or cyrillic, but I want to solve this also in the next days.

 

After doing some more tests and improved javadocs I would be glad if I could overgive the sources on behalf of Sybit GmbH to the nutch-project.

 

Kind regards,

 

Stephan Strittmatter
