For those that are not regulars on the mailing list, I am a fairly active  
member that has used Elasticsearch for years.

I am leaving my full-time job to focus on other (techie and non-techie)  
goals and would love to work on some interesting projects part-time. It can  
be either paid assignments or free open-source projects. My main interests  
are search with a focus on development. Not too keen on devops tasks such  
as administering servers. I would rather work on my own stuff than be a  
sysadmin. 🙂

Feel free to contact me directly via email.

Cheers,

Ivan

We could always use help with CirrisSearch. It is the open source project  
that links MediaWiki to Elasticsearch. We have it installed on all the  
wikis at the wikimedia foundation but it isn't the default search backend  
on the largest ones yet.

"Selling" points:  
Huge user community  
Basic queries work reasonably well  
Expert syntax to support power users  
PHP  
Elastica  
I manage the elasticsearch installation  
I contribute changes we need upstream  
Uses customized highlighter (also needs contributors)  
Reasonably easy development installation with vagrant  
Working on it is my full time job so review would be quick

If you want to lend a hand for interesting projects, here are some of my  
current favorites:

- building a global library catalog index with Elasticsearch of all the  
open data / metadata on academic library servers, complete with harvester  
and updater, SRU, OAI etc. A starting point for SRU implementation is  
[https://github.com/xbib/elasticsearch-sru](https://github.com/xbib/elasticsearch-sru)

- implementing a plugin for Elasticsearch that turns ES into a W3C Linked  
Data Platform  
[Linked Data Platform 1.0 Primer](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ldpwg/raw-file/default/ldp-primer/ldp-primer.html),  
with HTTP PATCH support, JSON Patch RFC 6902, maybe even a Sparql-to-ES DSL  
translator

- a harvester/pull plugin framework for ES, in order to supersede the river  
singleton concept, with provisioning for all kind of different sources,  
e.g. JDBC, or web crawling

- helping British Library labs to find correct image legend texts in OCR  
XML from the book scanning project. See  
[Millions of historical images posted to Flickr - BBC News](http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28976849) I think Elasticsearch can  
handle the 230G zipped input. I got a copy from BL. No good algorithm  
exists yet. Maybe with ES? First step would be to design an index and to  
index/publish the OCR for better search?

Not sure where the incentives are. Ever lasting fame, honor, glory, world  
domination, super power etc.

Thanks Jörg.

The incentives for an open-source project is to pad my resume since I have  
been working with obsolete technologies and processes for almost the past  
three years. I implemented many changes at my company (Elasticsearch,  
Maven, central logging, application-level monitoring), but there is only so  
much one person can do. Plus, I love this stuff. The incentives for simply  
contracting is purely money! Do not really need the cash, but I plan to  
embark on some travels and it would easy my mind a bit.

Your project list reminds me of a project I have been working on, but I  
could use some help. I am looking for datasets that also include example  
queries and golden records for those queries. My goal is to test different  
similarity algorithms using unknown data. Would love to use the Wikipedia  
dump, but I never found any golden records. Perhaps Nik has something. The  
only thing I have found are the TREC datasets, but I was hoping for a more  
sizable example.

Ivan, I'm actually working on something like this (and I don't thing Jorg  
actually meant that..). I was involved with  
[Apache Lucene -](https://lucene.apache.org/openrelevance/) but its now discontinued and in  
some spare time I have I'm trying to take that initiative forward.

Ping me privately if that sounds interesting and we can continue discussing.

I did not realize Jörg's response was to the list and not privately (as  
most other responses were). I am thankful that I did not bad mouth my  
employer too badly! 🙂

I am very aware of the open relevancy project and its discontinued status.  
I emailed the Lucene mailing list about it not to long ago. Would love to  
work on something in that regard.

Cheers,

Ivan
