Sure. However right now it takes a good bit of reverse engineering to figure out what the rules are, they're not documented, and we're not going to use code that doesn't use at least some of them -- and it's not clear which subset are "real" rules and which subset are just workarounds for undesirable behaviour by the GA or perceptron. That's not exactly encouraging contributions. We should document it. --j.
