SuperFastMatch progress report

[Donovan Hide]

Hi again,

sorry for the delay in this report. Have been very busy working
towards getting a full end-to-end test running using US Congress
Bills. Have been a little anxious about suggesting exercising the code
until there is a concrete demonstration of it working. This should
hopefully be usable at some point this week.

Martin asked me to keep a diary of what I've been doing and I've
located this is in the documentation itself:

http://mediastandardstrust.github.com/superfastmatch/diary.html

The API documentation is starting to become a bit more readable too:

http://mediastandardstrust.github.com/superfastmatch/api.html

Any suggestions or questions more than welcome!

Cheers,
Donny.

Hi,

sorry again for the infrequency of progress updates - been busy
writing tests and running them for the new features like updatability
of the index and faceting of results. Should have something that it
bootstrappable by Monday afternoon, is that a good point to have
another conference call? I'm available up to 17:00 British Summer Time
(timezone fun!).

The comments being transmuted into law sounds like an interesting
application indeed!

Cheers,
Donny.

Sounds great, Donny.  And yes, let's plan on a call then (at noon ET, I think? well, here's hoping!).

Of course! Talk to you in 45 minutes.

You guys mind if I join the call? I doubt I've got much to add, but I'd like to lurk and listen and start playing around with the code properly some time...
