Okay, I just created this on discord https://discord.gg/RBPmmdWg. Considering it might be more accessible for people. Wondering if I should post this out of the thread.
Our github account is here: https://github.com/PeARSearch/
We are not yet release ready. We plan on making our first release later this year. Please feel free to hangout at our IRC channel: #pears on Freenode.
We are at a very early stage of development and we have got a lot of work to do. Any kind of contribution would be highly appreciated.
I am a member of one of the projects that got awarded. We desperately are in need of better infrastructure for our development and testing purposes. Also we plan on collaborating face-to-face the coming year and the award definitely takes care of the expense. One of our team members is going to work full time on the project and we will be able to support her for at least a couple of months. We are all so excited! :)
Btw, I am a part of the project PeARS.
