Campus Information Hub
A searchable archive of university announcements with per-student subscriptions and extracted deadlines.
The problem
Announcements are distributed across channels that are good at delivery and bad at retrieval. A notice reaches everyone once and then becomes effectively unfindable.
What we are building
A single archive with full-text search across every announcement.
Categorisation by department, year and programme, so a student subscribes to a slice rather than everything.
Deadline extraction that turns announcement text into calendar entries.
Current status
The most useful thing a project page can do is be specific about what is not true yet.
- A written problem statement and a proposed scope.
- An agreed first milestone: search before subscriptions.
- No code has been written yet — this project is looking for a founding team.
- No data source has been agreed, and no content is being collected.

What you can contribute
This project has no team yet. The first person in gets to set its direction.
Archive a term’s worth of public notices manually — that first pass teaches you the schema.
Design the search result. That single component decides whether the product works.
