I am so excited about releasing WIN Hunter and the source code
under the GNU open source license. Maybe sometime in the future
I will have a more permanent home for the site as well as for
the source code and patches and/or updates that you and I might
come up with.
In
the mean time, I will work on making the interface of WIN Hunter
more acceptible to growth and change. I anticipate many suggestions
and user provided source code enhancements. It will be hard right
now for a user to add a new rule to the initial 9 that exist in
winhunters, due to the GUI interface. But I have ideas to solve
those issues as well.
An
even greater goal is to have a central repository for successful
prediction settings to be stored. It would be a waste for thousands
of users not to be sharing their already tested and proven/disproven
filter stacks. I must give credit for this idea to the SetiAtHome
project. Their software utilizes the user's computer and processes
a small amount of data and uploads the results to a central server.
Thousands of users give up unused CPU time to this project and
I hope to move this project in that direction as well. But that
type of program would require a dedicated server and a dedicated
internet connection for the sole purpose of collecting user processed
data.
On
a final note, WIN Hunter will continue to grow and change as time
and user input will allow. You can have an impact on what future
WIN Hunter has!
