Mentors : Olly Betts and Dan Colish

*Work I am doing right now:*

   - So finally, I managed to get the new query expansion mechanism up and
   running.
   - I debugged my code and all the automated tests now run as expected.
   - The tests based on the old mechanism which were failing now pass. :)
   - I cleaned up the code, wrote the missing documentation and pushed the
   entire code on github.
   - Both the new expansion schemes and the mechanism for choosing the
   scheme to use are doing as expected and I think I have achieved a major
   milestone in my project. :)
   I am now waiting for feedback from my mentors about the code..

*Work I will do in the next week:*

   - Now comes the next phase of my project where in I will work on getting
   the new query expansion mechanism integrated into Omega.It will take about
   7-9 days as per my current estimate.
   - I will also keep working on the current code for query expansion as
   and when I get feedback from my mentors.
   - The complete new code for query expansion can be found here :-
