In case anyone is curious, the status of that is as follows.. 1) Cassio & Senna, in Brazil, are currently working on an initial version of the Novamente schema module that will deal with simple schema & predicates only. This will let us do some datamining apps with schema/predicates, and also deal with basic issues regarding the integration of schema with the rest of the system... 2) Luke Kaiser (another excellent volunteer, based in Poland) has implemented a higher-order schema module [which can express all actions, no matter how complex] but it's in the debugging/tuning phase, it won't be integrated with the main Novamente system till early 2003 sometime.... So we are chugging toward our goal but with a small staff it's slow. The Brazilian team spends much of their time on our commercial bioinformatics apps (see www.biomind.biz .. soon to be moved to www.biomind.com ;), and there are only a few of those excellent volunteers at the moment.... But we are getting there!! I have to add that at Webmind Inc. we had a large staff, and discovered the problems with that as well. Too many people, too much stuff to manage, not enough stuff to carefully review and re-review each aspect of the complex integrative design as it's implemented. As we gradually increase the Novamente team I guess we'll find an optimal size, which will be bigger than we are now but smaller than the Webmind R&D team was... -- Ben ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
