Snob package (need mentor)



For about a year now there has been GPL version of Snob, the automatic
classifier that uses Minimum Message Length for induction. It is quite
advanced and has consistently outperformed NASA's autoclass in published
comparisons, which is more remarkable considering that it was first 
written in 1968.

I packaged this awhile back but didn't try to become an official 
developer. I would now like to make Snob (technically snob-vanilla) a 
part of Debian, so I need a mentor. Marco has already agreed to help me 
with matplotlib, but here's a package I've already done.

The website with description, documentation, and links to the .deb files 
is:   http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/

The .deb files are available 
The direct package links (x86, ppc) are:
http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/binaries/snob-vanilla_1.1-1_i386.deb
http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/binaries/snob-vanilla_1.1-1_powerpc.deb

Thanks for any help. Now while you think about that, on to matplotlib. 
Well, after the next job application. :-)
