I would like in on that too :)  About a year or so ago I was working on a
full-text indexing system for indexing several gigabytes of text (mailing
list archives).  Most of it was written in C and uses quite a lot of cool
algorithms from various information retrieval papers and books.  I have
been hoping to have the time to take parts of it and work it into the new
PluginIndex architecture.  The existing code uses BerkeleyDB files to hold
the index structures, but I would like to use ZODB instead to give it a
bit more modularity.
