This is a list of users of Xapian to allow quickly jotting down new links we come across without having to get distracted by updating the main website properly, for users to add their own links, and for projects are only at an experimental stage, or similar.

Periodically we'll sweep through entries listed below, dig out a bit more information if required, and add them to the main website.

Feel free to add entries below for both your own uses, and those of others. We'd love a reciprocal "powered by Xapian" or similar link to help spread the word. We're not making it a requirement to get listed, but as the list grows, we might use lack of such a link as a criteria for culling entries.
