BoF - discussion on roadmap for Apache Solr module
After we have the formal talk, we will have an informal BoF to talk about a roadmap and our goals for Apache Solr module development and features.
Topics will likely include:
- Code refactoring and API improvements
- RSS feeds of search results
- OG integration
- Project module integration and other uses on drupal.org
- User interface improvements
- Ways to make it easier to tune boost parameters

I'll be there ;)
your topic here
I have one!
"Ways to improve the relevancy of search results based on other things than the matching alone (number of links, popularity of the content, etc.)"
Of course!
I talked to peter about the possibility of my univ (Tecnológico de Monterrey) collaborating with some testing to be done by students.
Ideas include:
* doing usability testing for general issues like facets, MLT, sorting, etc.
* come up with some suggested settings for weights and biasing, for a common website. In our case, options include analyzing our Knowledge Hub (a directory of links to Open Educational Resources) and also a Library Catalog. Both contain under 30k items, both have nodes with under 1-3k characters, and little or no comments.
However, since both sites are running D5, someone would have to backport the module first. =|
So, is this a topic? =)
I'd like to join you guys if possible
I would want to talk about the future of attachment indexing, solr side vs. server side, etc.
Also looking forward to putting faces to usernames. :)
I'm trying to spot a time in
I'm trying to spot a time in the schedule where I'm not dying to hear 1 (or 2 or 3) of the sessions.
Possible times for me
Thursday:
10:15-11:15
1:45-2:45
3:00-4:00
Friday:
9:00-10:00
3:45-4:45
Post a comment if you feel a need to veto one of these times, or to strongly suggest a different time.
I'm leaning towards Thurdsay
I'm leaning towards Thurdsay at 10:15 (i.e. during that keynote) - what's are your preferences?
I guess ...
I feel the same; I want to go to everything else too =) But this sounds acceptable.
Dries says he expects that
Dries says he expects that keynote to far out-deliver it's descriptions, so Jacob and I are now leaning towards Friday at 3:45.
