Do we have any suggestion for Google Summer of Code ideas? We might be able to get sponsored (paid) students; as usual it's hard to find tasks at the right level of difficulty. For example, I'd love to get some help in the Solr/ElasticSearch integration area but it would need to be a very good student for that. My ideas so far: # Migration of our new JPQL parser to latest ANTLR version (as an experiment) # JBoss Forge integration for Hibernate Search # CDI extensions # New Faceting engine # Automated performance regressions tests (develop benchmarks & setup infrastructure) # Taking advantage of efficient loading profiles (the JPA 2.1 feature): auto-generate the ones Search needs We also need volunteers to mentor students in this area; I'm happy to take one, but can't survive taking more :) Sanne
