Hello,
I am currently studying the resources included in the wiki (multihash,
ssdeep), while simultaneously thinking about the database schema.
Once I feel comfortable with the material, should I create a new GitHub
repository for the project and start committing code?
Thanks in advance,
Giorgos

Thanks for your interest in getting involved with hashesDB.
Please note that the db keeps only meta-information on files.
Each hash is a few bytes; 250 bytes for 1 billion files
amount to 250GB (nowadays available on a USB stick).
Even if we have that many data (which would be a nice problem to have),
one could partition the data, keeping different hashes
on different SQLite data files.
The advantages of SQLite are obviously the single-file data store
and the serverless implementation.
I believe its ease of deployment it offers outweigh
any potential reservation of scale.
To your last point, of course I'd welcome any involvement
to the project whenever possible.
However, it should be clear that any work outside the GSoC framework
will not affect any decisions related to GSoC.

Hello everyone,
I am Giorgos Kosmas and I am a third-year undergraduate student at
National Technical University of Athens, studying towards a degree in
Electrical and Computer Engineering.
I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code during the
summer. Particularly, I would like to get involved in the development of
the "hashesDB" project.
I have some clarifying questions regarding the library in which the
database will be implemented. I am familiar with SQLite, however I am
not sure if SQLite is appropriate for this project, due to the fact that
SQLite is a single-disk database. Given the fact that this project
should support huge archives of files, is it likely that the total size
of our database exceeds the memory size of a single disk? In this case
the user would be required to buy a larger and more expensive hard-disk,
instead of just buying a much cheaper disk that would provide the
additional memory space required.
I would like to begin contributing to this project as soon as the fall
exam period ends(late February), before the announcement of the accepted
mentoring organizations. If this is possible, I would be glad to arrange
a skype call in order to discuss further technical decisions in detail.
Thanks in advance,
Giorgos
