I'm interested to work on Speed up Highlighting idea for GSoC 2018.
Where can I find the build instructions?
And is the #elasticsearch channel on freenode is correct medium to discuss this project or is there a mailing list or slack?

Hey,
You mean build instructions for Elasticsearch? The best starting point should be https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-to-the-elasticsearch-codebase
For general Elasticsearch questions the #elasticsearch IRC channel on Freenode is great. If you have a specific question about Elasticsearch then https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elasticsearch is the best place (it's kind of our mailing list by now).
And please keep any GSoC specific questions in https://discuss.elastic.co/c/elastic-community/elastic-gsoc. Hope that helps 
Hello. I made a PR and it failed because I did not sign the license. I have later done that. But I don't know what to do. It is still marked failed
Do you have a link to the PR?
This is something we should get fixed, but it doesn't make a real difference for the GSoC application — we can still judge your abstract and PR, so don't worry too much about it.
Generally PRs should always be against master and we'll backport the relevant branches; with the obvious exception that something only needs fixing in a specific branch, but that's not the case for this doc fix.
IMO the easiest approach would be to close this PR and open a new one against master. Then the CLA check should also pass (if you are using the same email address for the commit).
