[Gsoc-students] proposal on Haystack support

[Martin Aspeli]

Hi Joscha,

Haystack is a library by Ben Saller that can do fuzzy logic text 
analysis, e.g. "find documents with content similar to this one" or 
"find key words in this document".

I'm not sure this has much to do with what you're describing. :)

I don't know what Exhibit is, so I don't really understand your 
suggestions, but we would welcome a well-written proposal!

If you choose to write a proposal, please do try to include a bit more 
background, since I fear many mentors would be confused by something 
like what you wrote below, and would not have time to research the 
things you reference in detail.
