Why not embrace the OSS philosophy and keep this process open? Certainly this mailing list isn't the right place, but why not use something like Wave? It's designed for this sort of focussed evolution of ideas. I can send invitations to anyone who needs an account, if they don't have one already.<br>
<br>I'd also propose that any prizes or remuneration to come from this be used to subsidise the mother of all python conventions. <br><br>Nick<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 3:45 PM, Mike Dewhirst <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:miked@dewhirst.com.au">miked@dewhirst.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

How about a little brainstorming and then we meet at some McDonalds?<br>
Here an idea:<br>
Feed the data into an artificial neural network (and make the found<br>
patterns usefull for the everyday use?).<br>
I dont think that this will give better results than other stochastic<br>
methods, but it sounds fancy.<br>
<br>
Here some shorter python specific introduction to neural networks:<br>

<br>
ps:<br>
Maybe we should use some other way to communicate about this project so<br>
we don`t flood the email incomming box of people who are not interested.<br>

I can offer a majordomo mailing list with no archives and once deleted no record for the future - five minutes work?<br>
