[smila-dev] introduction and several questions

["Simon Button" <simon.button@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Firstly, by way of introduction, my name is Simon Button and I am the
co-founder and CTO of a stealth mode start-up focusing on socially
intelligent personalised knowledge management systems.  We are well
positioned for the next wave of intelligent internet services that will put
sophisticated intelligence in an easy to use form delivering powerful
solutions naturally augmenting our digital cognitive attention.  Our
technology lets users dynamically discover and consume information, which
becomes critically important for productivity and focusing their attention.

We are doing some preliminary work on getting to know SMILA.  We have the
solution up and running and have been experimenting with crawlers and agents
and services.  It is early days for us in getting to learn the solution
etc., but we are excited by what we see.

I have a few preliminary questions just at the moment:

1)	Is there a plan to support the ability to crawl and capture data
from email boxes and email servers (for example IMAP, POP3, Exchange,
etc.?).  I understand that you are using some components of the Aperture
solution (which I have some experience with)

2)	To what level is the semantic layer developed (and what is the
roadmap here).  This is an area we are particularly interested in getting
involved

3)	We have been through the entire documentation suite on the wiki and
the concept integration framework doc.  Are there any other docs or pieces
of info that we should be looking at also that exist in another location?

Apologises in advance if I have posted this to the wrong mailing list, and I
look forward to starting some dialogue and looking at how we may be able to
use and contribute to SMILA.

Cheers,

Simon
