Bug#464444: O: megahal -- conversation simulator that can learn as you talk to it



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the megahal package.

The package description is:
 Conversation simulators are computer programs which give the appearance of
 conversing with a user in natural language. Such programs are effective
 because they exploit the fact that human beings tend to read much more
 meaning into what is said than is actually there; we are fooled into reading
 structure into chaos, and we interpret non-sequitur as valid conversation.
 .
 MegaHAL differs from conversation simulators such as Eliza in that it uses
 a Markov Model to learn how to hold a conversation. It is possible to
 teach MegaHAL to talk about new topics, and in different languages.
 .
 This package contains the megahal binary, and for your scripting
 pleasure modules for perl, python and tcl.
