Dear Apache Commons (Math), This e-mail is regarding a new program utilizing Apache Commons Math library for the Google Android platform [0]. Basically, I'm asking for help with either of the following: beta-test, co-development, and licensing issues.
I've made a beta version of a program for the Android platform. So far it's called ACE - Android Computational Environment. It is a program to perform calculations when you're on the run, i.e. not near an ordinary workstation. I hope that it's going to be like a "R Express" sort of application, although that is a lot to aim for. It's definitely not meant as a replacement or anything near R. But it's meant as an option when e.g. R is not available. The application consists of a programming language (ACL), interpreter, and - tada - Apache Commons Math library :-). And a GUI. The scheduled functionality with highest priority is basic linear algebra (matrix multiplication, eigen values, etc.) and statistics (quantiles, probabilities etc.). The aim in the long run is to implement all the functionality of Apache Commons Math library, and hopefully extend the library (e.g. with principal component analysis). The application is writtin in Java. I've used ANTLR3 [2] to make the lexer and parser. And, as mentioned, the math library is so far Apache Commons Math [3]. As said in the introduction, I'm writing to ask if anybody wants to join and help me? First of all I have to be sure of some licensing questions and all that stuff. Also, beta-testers and developers would be appreciated. The application is not on the Android Market yet because it's not ready for that yet. But I have a working demo with some functions implemented. I've never participated in any open source projects before, so sorry if I've done anything wrong. And please correct me, if I have. This might also result in some stupid questions once in a while, but hopefully not too often :-). I'm from Denmark and have a bachelors degree in math and computer science, and are not studying for a masters in statistics. From July until December I'm in Australia on exchange. Please feel free to comment! I look forward to hearing from you.
