Hi all,

I'd like to introduce Ankit Lohani, an undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur, India who is working in Google's Summer of Code programme with us at the Micklem Lab in Cambridge.

Anikt, welcome to the community.


Over the summer, he'll be working to implement a scaleable web crawler for Buzzbang using the Scrapy web-crawling framework [1], to replace my proof-of-concept code. Hence, one of the first tasks will be to look at Federico's work in this area.

Can we also ensure that we connect this activity with Ricardo’s work on GoCrawlIt?

We also plan to continue Buzzbang modularization to supply components that applications can use to find and consume Bioschemas markup, in addition to the existing work of creating a simple human-facing search frontend.

I'm very pleased that Ankit is working with us and he already has a good grasp of what's going on.  But if we could help him on this list with any other questions he may have I will be very grateful to you all.
