# Contributing
|
|
|
|
At present this is mostly a solo project, but
|
|
external contributions are very welcome.
|
|
|
|
This is a bit of a special project,
|
|
in part because a search engine isn't
|
|
like a text editor that you can just
|
|
download and tinker with; and in part
|
|
because it's as much a research project
|
|
as it is a search engine.
|
|
|
|
If you have an idea for a cool change,
|
|
send an email to <kontakt@marginalia.nu> and
|
|
we can discuss its feasibility.
|
|
|
|
Search is essentially a fractal of interesting
|
|
problems, so even if you don't have an idea,
|
|
just a skillset (really any), odds are there's
|
|
something interesting I could point you to.
|
|
|
|
## Release and branches
|
|
|
|
The search engine has a release cycle of
|
|
once per 6-8 weeks, coinciding with the crawling
|
|
cycle. Where model-breaking changes and changes to
|
|
the crawler can be introduced.
