Hi all,
I'm maintaining an Open Source project[1], an embeddable persistent and durable data store. It retains the full history of each resource and follows novel ways to version database pages. It supports time travel queries and the reconstruction of each revision, whereas the revisions are indexed itself. We designed SirixDB, especially for modern hardware such as high-performance SSDs or even Byte Addressable NVM, such as Intel Optane Memory.
I would love to get any tips for improving the README on Github, for instance, and how to make it easier to participate in the project, especially during Hacktoberfest, but also in general. I think the README is way too long and probably also doesn't get to the point.
So, any help regarding how to make it easier to participate in the project would be great.
Furthermore, I'd love to get the project (kind of back) into academia for a bachelor/master/Ph.D. thesis. Still, my former professor just left the university (I finished with an MSc degree about eight years ago). I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities for working on different aspects (new (trie-based? Index structures, working on heuristics for the query compiler, and finally working on cost-based optimizations, distributing the database horizontally, encryption with having versioning in mind...).
Kind regards
Johannes
