Hi Robert and Eric, I am sorry to say that I can not participate this gsoc because my mentor suggest me to focus my research defense first. I am sorry for quitting this opportunity to contribute JAMES. Since the AI project is on the track, maybe I can help for recommendation, keywords filter to pre-read mail or news later. Thank you for all of your suggestion on my proposal. I will be happy that anyone can use my proposal to continue this project. Thanks. Vicki
