Hi,
If you are looking for a SoC idea, I have listed a couple below. I
am not sure how good of an idea they are but I have ran into the
following limitations and probably other people have as well in the
past.
1. Can user based priorities be implemented as a summer project? To
some extent it has already been implemented in research (http://
www.cs.cmu.edu/~bianca/icde04.pdf), so it is definitely possible and
scalable.
2. Distributed full-text indexing. This one I am really not sure how
possible it is but (TSearch2) very scalable (cannot do multi
terabyte fulltext indexes). Maybe some sort system could be devised
to perform fulltext searches over multiple systems and merge the
ranked results at some root node.

Students & Professors,
There are only 5 days left to submit your PostgreSQL Google Summer
of Code Project:
http://www.postgresql.org/developer/summerofcode.html
If you aren't a student, but know a CS student interested in
databases, testing, GUIs, or any other OSS coding, please point
them to our SoC page and encourage them to apply right away!
If you are a student, and you've been trying to perfect your
application, please go ahead and submit it ... we can't help you if
you miss the deadline, but we can help you fix an incomplete
application.
