Dear All, I'm currently working in my graduation project, which is a recommender system for Debian packages.
The purpose of the system is to evaluate which packages are mostly used, much like what popularity-contest does, but then go one step further and suggest packages which might possibly be of interest to you. The implementation is done, but the system would require real user information (the more, the better) so the degree of success in generating recommendations could be assessed. Therefore, I would like to humbly request your help in providing such information. Details on how to deploy and use the system can be found in http://debommender.sf.net/ it's really easy. The sources are available via anonymous sourceforge cvs access, if you wish. Any doubts, comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact me privately. Thank you very much for your attention, Diego Pereira. Instituto de Informática - UFRGS (www.ufrgs.br)
