I am happy to report that the LQ Wiki just hit 2,000 articles. It's a nice start, but with the lofty goal of becoming the largest general-knowledge Linux repository on the web, we have a long way to go

nice

keep up the good work guys and gals !

its coming together nicely since the launch of the Wiki..

With respect Jeremy, the goal you state seems IMHO too grand. How about becoming the largest LINUX -knowledge repository on the net ?

heh - left a word out. That is our goal Updated my first post.

it's striking that there are over a million posts in the forums, in which there may be many articles, hidden so to speak, or unstructured. Have you looked at any text mining tools to extract them?

OK, there maybe some cynicism about text mining (being the latest corporate craze), but a body of knowledge is emerging around it. If such extraction were possible, the wiki might be able to grow faster.

There are a variety of ways you can help out - here are just some of them - you can find the general help section here.

thanks for suggestion skyline,

I did have a look at what I could do, but being still a newbie, there's onlyh a limited amount fo things I could write with authority ..., while I continue searching, I want to attract your attention to this Infoworld article, which deals with text mining, specifically in user forums.

Now if you follow the link to the solution supplier, Attensity, you'll see it´s a company with large corporate clients, so no prizes for how expensive the solutions are going to be.

The questions is, is there an opensource solution for this? Does anybody know of any projects kind of related to this ?
