Need help

[Michael Koppelman]

I'd like to add 2 new pages to the web site and I need help.

1. A list of research ideas.
2. A few case studies of successful data mining projects.

For #1, I don't expect people to give away great ideas from their TODO
list. But, in general terms, I think we could create a lot of ideas
for people wanting to experiment with data mining.

For #2, those of you with published data mining papers, a few
paragraphs and a few figures about your idea, what data you used, what
tools you used, etc. would be really cool.

If you can contribute to either of these, please speak up!

BTW, we have a new URL for the web site and it is also linked directly
from the AAVSO home page:

http://datasection.aavso.org/

Thanks!

I am just about to leave on a family holiday but I promise I will make
a more active contribution on my return.

Hi Michael,

How about approaching Arne about real-time access for our Section
members to APASS data:

http://www.aavso.org/news/apass.shtml

I understand the data will be available publicly on a quarterly basis,
but maybe we could have access to it earlier?

Regards,

Great idea, Bill! I will talk to Arne about it.

PS - sorry for the delay. All new members' messages are moderated and
I was out of town.
