GSoC 2017 Susper, Harshit Prasad - FOSSASIA

Google Summer Of Code 2017

Organisation: FOSSASIA

Project: Susper

Task: Enhancements in Susper Search Engine

This summer, I worked on FOSSASIA Susper project. I have contributed in two repositories in GSoC 2017 for FOSSASIA in Susper project. My project was mainly based on enhancing Susper search engine and implement new features to provide more enriched user experience. I have also worked on creating Dockerfile for deployment purpose of second generation YaCy_Grid_Mcp.

We have also followed best practices and work ethics to maintain code quality and structure. There should be no issue with site performance and stability.
