I submit final report of Exploratory Software Project 2004 2nd half to IPA.

Unfortunately, one developer in my managed projects has been busy to care for his father confined to bed so he failed to submit results by due date. As discussed with IPA, he was given an extension of time by next week. This means, my final report for him still is undone.

Today is 2nd day of final review meeting of 4 PMs (ichiji, ukai, kato and nakasima) of Exploratory Software Project 2004 2nd half, at Nagai Memorial Palace in Shibuya.

• proposal of 3D GUI style and consolidate development environment
• digital kaleidoscope
• PUI(Paper User Interface)
• groupware that integrates mail, web and meeting vertically
• agent-base social simulation language - SOARS
• MMOG infrastructure using ovarlay network
• extend memory using activity history on computer
• Winmostar: molecule computing support software

This afternoon, there are final review meeting of 4 PMs (ichiji, ukai, kato and nakasima) of Exploratory Software Project 2004 2nd half, at Nagai Memorial Palace in Shibuya.

• Hyper Estraier
• protocol program generator from simple specification description
• intelligent 3D shape browser
• knowledge information management base to extend human memories
• genome RNA database search system using probablistic context free grammer.
• next-generation operating system implemented by CLI.
• Web Database Server GWS

Today, I have a interim review meeting of my projects in Exploratory Software Project 2004 2nd half, at Bunkyo Green Court 18F.

Mikio Hirabayashi's project, Hyper Estraier: a full-text search system for communities. Core API and Thread API already implemented. Currently designing Node protocol and Node API so start implementing Node server, Node API and Node Farm. Progress 50%. About 1 hour for presentation and Q&A.

Kouichirou Eto's project, qwikWeb - integration of mail, web and meeting. Time series view of page modification was implemented. This idea will be extended as past and future event view so that we can use it as historical view and/or as planning view (scheduler). It would be nice if it can be used to coordinate meeting schedule and records easily. About 1 hour for presentation and Q&A.

Unfortunately, Kazuhisa Takei can't attend today's review meeting because his father is in critically ill.

After that, we discuss more.

someone implements postgresql module using hyper estraier APIs pgestraier , so that we can query to postgresql by using SQL for text indexed by hyper estraier.

Apache module mod_estraier that registers index of contents handled by Apache and provides search web page would be killer application of hyper estraier. It would be easily integrated with Apache and if configured with apache proxy, we can index all contents through the proxy, that is, user can search any browsed contents. apache2-mpm-prefork would be problem, because hyper estraier could be used in single writer and multi reader.

qwik.jp currently broken, it says unregistered FQDN in HELO, so some SMTP, at least debian.or.jp, refuses the connection. It is fixed.
