Your description sounds exactly like what I have had in mind for years now. And I agree--let's do it! I'm looking forward to your ideas--I don't have anything concrete in mind except the vision, and you were right on target with stand alone jobs that can be re-dispatched, etc. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

How to develop a voting and decision making system so that we fast and flexible could make decisions about our projects.? We can use CP directly like this: - could be open 48 hour after the proposition is made. - people can can put forward their ideas and be elected on. CP's own vote system should work here. - never on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday (US Central Time) The subject line could be: - one of theese "CPP vote 24h-24h:" (24h for presenting alternativs and 24h for voting) or "CPP vote 48h" (all alternativs are presented, so start voting at once) - the first reply would be your proposal or problem, with project name if necessary. - people would reply, and the reply with the most votes would automatically be accepted as the final decision after 48h. If it is a bad decision it can always be elected down with a new proposition. - the one who has won the voting would change the subject line in his message to "Decided" and copy the message to the project logg. If you have some other idea then reply to this and we can vote... jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

Fine with me for most things, but when we divide up into seperate projects, I think we should have a seperate article for each project with voting done at the bottom. Also, some things do best with the CP-poll-of-the-week style of polling.

How about we just split into coding units, so different teams focus on different sectors of the project?? Would this work?**

It will probably just be a dialogbox app, I installed VS.Net Beta2 msdn edition to get familiar with C#. It's just a matter of finding the time. I started a project at sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/humanaiproject/[^] and plan to start "recruiting" people after I get approved with aaai.org.

Odd that I should find a posting for this here. I'd be willing to work on this one. I already have code for this (well a start anyways). I benched it some time ago, however.

A project management system. Phase tracking, bugs, document storage, client feedback area etc. Not a source control system, but a system for the management of a project that both managers/clients and the developers are happy with. We all bitch about management of projects, so lets do something about it for once.

Here's how I envision it, but I assume the project leader will decide on team structure and function. Project A has 20 developers that want to work on it. They assign a project leader who will assign roles. Like any software project, Project A is split into sections (say GUI, app preferences, and main functionality). The project leader will asses his resources (developers) and assign them to teams for these different sections.

I agree 100%. We tend to believe that the more bodies we throw at a project, the faster it will get done. In fact, it turns out to be the opposite. That's why I'd like to see us work on more than one project, maybe even the top 5. With about 10 developers each.

How about this: 1) We start with the most popular project, for example UGLY and call it Project A, assign it a project leader, and let people sign up. Probably 15-25 will sign up and we will have a stong group that can start working right away. 2) People who have not signed up at Project A can then vote on which shall be the next project, Project B, assign project leader, and let people sign up, and start working. 3) Then Project C etc. until everybody have found a project were they want to work in. This could be an ongoing process were new volunteers sign up and new projects are found for them. jhaga CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

www.humanaiproject.org "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Albert Einstein (INTP)Okay, I have to be careful I don't confuse myself here. :-) Any I hope we are on the same page. The eight states (or functions) are the output, by means of facial expressions and bodylanguage and grammar used. The 16 personalities, are used partially for determining which of the states the AI is in. What I'm thinking about is having a consistent characterisation, so even if the AI's responses aren't great, the AI presents itself well. Options for the AI would be how fast the states could change. Any being going from ANGRY (Introverted Feeling) to Jocular extraverted intuition in a flash of the hat is likely to arouse suspicion. IMHO: A good AI at emotional connections, would have the ability to use Neuro Liguistic Programming to detect the personality of who it was communicating with, thus it could then respond with a personality base similar to the user.

www.humanaiproject.org "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." -Albert Einstein (INTP)Joe, Skepdic.com as usually states some good clear truths. ----- IMHO: 98% of the NLP stuff about is garbage, and is as useful as aromatherapy and cannibalism to become smarter. However there in the early stages of the NLP philosophy there was a lot of sense made, but then it became a marketing scam. ----- IMHO again: Consider these cases A man is attracted to a female, so he breaks the ice. "Hi look I'm all alone here can I buy you a drink", Response a.) "Sure, I'll have a white wine." Response b.) "An orange juice would be loverly." Response d.) "I could sure down a Bud now." Okay now match up the man's next line setting. "You wouldn't know anywhere in this town that I can get a radiator fixed" "I see a new play is being shown the road at the theater ." "This is a real charming place isn't it." Easy huh, But not only is what the mans topic different but, also the language type and structure he uses changes as well. Consider the differnece in how you talk to a young child, and to your boss. Regardz Colin J Davies
