  Using Xapian to Index your Ports Tree, Matthew Story 
  
  Much of the existing search software out there is overly complex, 
  bloated with features that you may or may not need, difficult to 
  configure and hard to customize. The xapian library (xapian.org) 
  provides a light-weight alternative with minimal dependencies and a 
  simple programmable interface that is made available in nearly all 
  higher-level languages through swig (swig.org). 
  
  Install xapian and the python bindings before the meeting, and over the 
  course of an hour we'll have you indexing and searching your local ports 
  tree, and updating your local index as ports are added, modified or 
  removed on your BSD of choice. 
  
  About the speaker: 
  Matt is Director of the Axial Corps of Engineers, where he first began 
  using Xapian to substantially increase the speed and reduce the 
  complexity of several core systems. Matt is a contributor to the FreeBSD 
  project; xargs(1) is his favorite program (especially with -P).
