Hi Markku,

Great. So if I interpret the current work in progress rightly - you're
going to be releasing Xun's code into one of the releases, which can
then be used as a platform for further enhancements to the project?

> I am missing something now, what does PyICU have to do with all this?

Whoops. I meant one of the numerical analysis and computation
libraries.. I confused PyICU to be one of them. My bad.

Right, I meant one of the above. So the final thing here would be to
include SciPy into Chandler.

BTW - I'm looking at some stuff here right now, but is there anything in

Right, I've been experimenting with PyLucene myself. Got that book too,
infact.

I see. Could you elaborate on this point a bit? By real world dataset
with tags - you mean already tagged email with relevant content that we
would use to train the system?

Right.

Indeed. The sooner, the better :) I'd be happy to discuss further on IRC
or email about which tasks in particular need to be taken care of right
now.

Cheers,
