Last week I spend time around "Croaring" library and right now, I start working on the initial version of proposal which I am planning to share by end of this week. I think if it's possible to split it into two, We can look forward to it with I am okay with picking other project involving bitmap too but only issue, I have to start again from scratch :) Thanks, Shubham On Wed, Apr 6, 2022 at 11:55 AM Christian Couder wrote: > > Hi Taylor, Plato and all, > > On Tue, Apr 5, 2022 at 11:59 PM Taylor Blau wrote: > > > > Hi Plato, > > > > On Wed, Apr 06, 2022 at 12:43:59AM +0300, Plato Kiorpelidis wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > > > I'm interested in participating as contributor for the project > > > "Reachability bitmap improvements". > > > The area I'm interested in, the most, is the alternate compression scheme > > > e.g. Roaring+Run, however I'm ecstatic about any bitmap performance improvement. > > > Expected project size I'm targeting for is large (350 hours). > > > I've already completed my micro-project and I will submit it in a few hours. > > > I wanted to be sure I could submit v1 of it before committing to > > > introducing myself. > > Though we appreciate it, we don't require introducing yourself.
