Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : rapidminer
  Version         : 4.0
  Upstream Author : Rapid-I <request@rapid-i.com>
* URL             : http://www.rapidminer.com/
* License         : GPL (version 2 or later)
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description     : Integrated data mining environment

 Rapidminer is a data mining environment that covers a wide range of
 real-world data mining tasks. More than 400 data mining operations can
 be used and almost arbitrarily combined. The program GUI creates XML
 files describing a data mining task, which is then used as input to the
 data mining engine and plugins.
 .
 Rapidminer can also be used as a Java data mining library.
 .
 Some examples of what Rapidminer can be used for:
   * Knowledge discovery in databases
   * Rapid prototyping
   * Plotting and visualising high-dimensional data
   * Machine learnig through the WEKA library
   * Text, data stream and multimedia mining
   * Distributed data mining

(Description ends here.)

Some parts of Rapidminer are licensed under LGPL or other free software
licenses. However, there are two things that prevent this program from
going into main: its icons are not licensed under a free software
license, and some (or all, I haven't checked) parts of its GUI are not
free software.

If someone wants to package this, I'd suggest replacing the icons with a
free software set (shouldn't be too hard to find replacements for most
of them from KDE or GNOME). Then, package this as a Java library for
data mining. Later, perhaps the non-free GUI can be packaged separately
or replaced by a free software version. Who knows, maybe the authors
would consider releasing the GUI parts under the GPL?

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 435927
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
435927@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
