I am expecting to speak early May at a meeting of network economists.
What meeting exactly? If I see what they work on, maybe I can see if I have technology to offer.
I will talk about CollEc, and how this can be used to study networks. People likely will want to know some details about the computations. If you have any details I can share beyond what is on http://collec.repec.org/doc.html, they would be welcome.
I could spruce up that document for the occasion. If you send me a list of questions that would be helpful.
I will make a pitch for volunteers. Maybe I can find someone interested in helping with CollEc.
Up for grabs if somebody wants to take it over. Rewriting it in Python would not be hard because the web interfaces is written in XSLT, so you don't have to redo that. In fact it would probably be quite easy to redo the computations in Python, and leave the search in Perl. -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel
