I'm sorry all for being such a quiet lad over the last month or so, but I hope that this e-mail will enlighten everyone with the current situation that (from the developer's POV) the Institute's currently undergoing.
*HEADLINES* 1. Due to the urgency of the SpeechControl project, Wintermute's previous March release will not be a public release, but rather a development release. It will have a few less features (i.e: concrete UI interface, AngelNet) but it will be functional (border-line). 2. SpeechControl's expected first release will be on the 21st of March (a Wednesday) and provide the features as listed on its roadmap on the Institute's Wiki (http://www.thesii.org/wiki/SpeechControl/Roadmap/0.1). Wintermute is *still being actively worked on*, despite the potential "dead" look it might be giving. I'm actually working on an IRC plug-in (a backend to* yet another *plugin) to allow us to communicate with Wintermute as if we were in front of the client itself. Information regarding this plug-in can be found in the *plugins* repository on GitHub ( https://www.github.com/wntr/plugins). So yeah, I invite all developers to actually ask what they can do here on this mailing list (don't e-mail me directly!) so that we can get the ball rolling. Just to make life easy, check out https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute and https://bugs.launchpad.net/speechcontrol to see what bugs are in need of closing. We'll be using bugs as our means of task management until we get Redmine up and running on the Institute's server (who's good with Ruby?). *SKILLS* If you're going to recommend someone to do a job here, they'll need something from the goody bag below: - Experience with Qt (in either Python or C++) - Flexible with some sort of AI tech (doesn't have to be a pro, they will become one over time) - Able to commit at least an hour a day four times a week to the assigned task/project they've chosen or have received. *TASKS* Here's a run-down of some tasks we currently have: *SpeechControl* - Bug #916565 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/speechcontrol/+bug/916565) *Wintermute* - Bug #864318 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/864318) - Bug #896768 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/896768) [requires SpeechControl API] - Bug #911367 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/911367) - Bug #897991 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/897991) - Bug #897668 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/897668) very big bug. Regardless or not you being a developer, I recommend tagging these bugs as affecting you so we can spark some more activity from other members on Launchpad as well (to get those community juices flowing). Recommend people you know from other projects to come and take a peek. For example, by visiting https://bugs.launchpad.net/wintermute/+bug/897991/+affectsmetooyou increase the 'heat' of a bug (the one I'm presently working on, the Messaging API as well as a few other parts). *Please do what YOU can to help the development of these projects going.* *We ARE the Synthetic Intellect Institute.* * * *One Vision. One Purpose. The SII.*
