Here's my suggestion: I will do my best to get this done at some point over the weekend, and once it's all good, then you can (if you want to) make a donation via the project pledgie: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/1752
The longer I take (ie, if it ends up being late next week), the lower your donation (for whatever base value you like) should be. -- Pat On 11/09/2009, at 11:00 AM, Graham Glass wrote: > > Hi Pat, > > Thanks for the update! > > My actual models have about 10 atttributes, so it would be nasty to > add all 10 of these to my other 5 models. > Once again, I'm more than happy to pay some kind of consulting rate > for the work, if this helps your incentive :-) > > Cheers, > Graham > > On Sep 10, 10:21 am, Pat Allan <[email protected]> wrote: >> Okay, two points now that I've found another moment to think about >> this: >> >> * Sphinx does support multiple indexes.
