Here are some of the things I'm missing: fulltext search/text retrieval ---------------------------------------- - fuzzy search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching) - proximity search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_search_(text)) - stemming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming) - faceted search (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search) If there were a good support or integration with collections that could ease a lot of use cases especially in web environments. At the moment I'm serializing objects to XML documents and put this into SOLR (http://lucene.apache.org/solr/). Before tsearch2 on postgresql spatial data services ------------------------------ - quad-tree (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree) - r-tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-tree) Again nice integration with collections would be very powerful. Spatial data are more and more important. There is support for google maps and such but no support to store spatial data. Back then I used postGis (on postgresql) for that. authentication frameworks -------------------------------------- - OAuth (http://oauth.net/) - open-id (http://openid.net/) To ease the authentication of users and web APIs those two mentioned are quite important (needs checking) That are the ones I miss on a regular basis. hope this helps, Norbert On 02.08.2010, at 21:50, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:
Hi guys
with the experience around the XMLRPC project, ESUG wants to change strategy to help growing business at the technical level. So what are the key areas where you think that effort should be supported to help you making business in smalltalk?
