Roadmap

This is a list of TODO items in no particular order. Eventually, there should be assigned timelines and versioning to provide a proper roadmap.

• MAF Search GUI should let user add / remove monitored folders for a Nariva service.
• When a folder is added to be monitored it should automatically be indexed.
• When there is a change in the monitored folders list, the service shouldn't have to be restarted for the change to take effect.
• When a folder has stopped being monitored, remove its files from the index.
• If the Nariva service has stopped and files were changed (added / changed / deleted) in a monitored folder, Nariva should re-index the changed files or folders.
• There should be a list of folders NOT to index, even if one or more of those folders is in a monitored folder.
• Make the indexing less resource intensive by using piped readers instead of strings holding text. (Current method causes out of memory errors if documents are big).
• Automatically remove files which are returned as matches, but don't exist, from the index. This may occur if a file was removed when the service was not running.
• Provide platform specific binaries by compiling Nariva with the GNU Compiler for Java.
• Nariva should automatically NOT index its own index folder if the index folder is in a monitored folder.
• MAF Index class should index all the HTML pages inclusive of supporting files for a single archive entry, not just the index page specified in the meta data.
• Provide easy integration with the java service wrapper.
• Create service installer.
• Document the XML-RPC API provided.
• Optionally use some sort of java MIME service for file type dectection instead of extensions.
• Nariva should get content from files for indexing using VFS file functions exclusively where possible.
• Implement logging properly.
• Add support for indexing Firefox / Mozilla cache as a monitored folder automatically.
• Add support for indexing popular document formats properly, extracting metadata instead of just text.
• Add support for indexing Thunderbird / Mozilla mail folders.
• Add support for indexing Outlook / Exchange folders.
• Add an open OSGI implementation such as Oscar for a component-oriented plugin framework.
• Possibly have a seperate index for each monitored folder and do a multi-index search instead.
