Xapian has turned 20! Strictly speaking it was 20 years ago last month but I managed to miss the true anniversary - the oldest commit in the Xapian repo is: commit 8ced76ea128c8fb2792477e09b41fa989f2e572f Author: Richard Boulton <[email protected]> Date: Fri Sep 10 09:50:40 1999 +0000 Martins initial code, which didn't work for him but did for me. Back then Richard, Martin and I all worked for BrightStation, and Richard and I were working in a small office high above the foyer of St John's Innovation Centre in Cambridge, UK - just behind the "/" strut below the highest part of the roof about 1/4 in from the right of the photo on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John%27s_Innovation_Centre#/media/File:St_Johns_Innovation_Centre.jpg This was before the project was called Xapian. Then 18 years ago (actually to the day): https://sourceforge.net/p/omseek/mailman/omseek-discuss/?viewmonth=200110 Cheers, Olly
