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.
