Viral wrote me:
| There's a lot of stuff for Clusters that not already packaged for

| various clustering software for debian. For instance, mosix and
| generally work towards a cool debian-beowulf.
| I intend to package any already unpackaged GA (Genetic Algorithms)
| software around, as I'm currently working on them.
|
| There's a statistics library we're working on geared for use by
| economists, libans, which we will release as soon as some basic stuff is
| in place.
|
| I'm also going to be developing a scalable Trading System soon, which
| will be (or at least try to be) as good as the ones out there. As and
| when code comes out, I intend to release it through debian.
|
| Apart from that, there are various algorithms that I code for various
| projects, which I'd like to make available as open source through
| suitable packaging.
He had already finished a package (libans0). I checked it, and except
for some minor glitches, it lookes ok.
Tasks and skills check passed.
