Hi All, This is off-topic, but I think it might be of interest to most subscribers to this list.
For the past few months, I - and my partners in crime - have been working on a new piece of software. For some time now, I have been quite adament that the ideas behind Freenet could be applied to the problem of fuzzy searching for information. Amr Z. Kronfol, in his extremely well researched paper, demonstrated, in simulation, that this was actually fesable*. The results of our efforts to-date is an early prototype of "Locutus". Locutus is built on .Net, a pretty nice architecture that will soon have a viable Open Source implementation. Basically, it helps you find stuff. We are currently looking for beta-testers. At the moment, the requirements are that you have a decent internet connection, and you use Windows 2000 or Windows XP. If things go well, we will be sure to reward those that help us in beta-testing.
