Hello Xapian Team, I'm a CS undergraduate studying in India, and I've had some experience working on a couple of open source projects [github.com/saurvs]. I'm interested in this org so I cloned the Xapian repo and built it on Arch Linux and I'm now looking at a bite-size task to do. I noticed that last year there was a GSoC project to write R bindings to Xapian's C++ API. I was wondering if there is any interest this year in writing Xapian bindings for the Julia programming language. It too is a language built primarily for technical computing with a growing but rich set of data science packages, and even generally exhibits better performance than R due to it's JIT compiler. The github.com/Keno/Cxx.jl or github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl package could be used in this project. If writing a Julia binding during GSoC would be a useful project for this community, I'd love to submit a proposal for it. Thanks, Saurav
