======  ToDo ======

**last update: 02-MAY-2006**
=====  Help =====

=====  short and easy jobs =====

  *  write your suggestions and/or ideas to the [[http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/priorart-discuss|priorart-mailinglist]]

  *  correct spelling-errors all over the wiki, especially in the [[:osapa:howto_search_for_prior_art_in_the_internet| HowTo search for Prior Art in the Internet ]] and the [[:osapa:example_prior_art_search| HowTo search for Prior Art in the Internet ]]

  *  pick one of the categories in [[:osapa:publication_categorization| Publication Categorization ]] and add one software-category or one individual program that in your oppinion fits into that category ([[:osapa:data_processing:database_and_file_management_or_data_structures|Example | Publication Categorization ]])
=====  1-3 hour jobs =====

  *  summarize the [[:osapa:tagging_prototype| Tagging Prototype ]] (probably requires some programming knowledge in python)

  *  go through the [[http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/priorart-discuss/|mailinglist archive]] and update the [[:osapa:faq| FAQ ]]. Maybe just download the [[http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/priorart-discuss.mbox/priorart-discuss.mbox|full mbox]] and grep it for questionmarks '?' to find some questions ;-)

  *  summarize important comments from [[notice_of_public_hearing_and_request_for_comments_on_issues_related_to_the_identification_of_prior_art_during_the_examination_of_a_patent_application| Notice of Public Hearing and Request for Comments on Issues Related to the Identification of Prior Art During the Examination of a Patent Application ]] (This is lots of text, but you don't need to do all yourself, just pick one single comment and summarize it)
=====  longer jobs =====

  *  Use the [[:osapa:howto_search_for_prior_art_in_the_internet| HowTo search for Prior Art in the Internet ]] on another patent, maybe one you really want to beeing voided. Add your progress as another Main-Section in our [[:osapa:example_prior_art_search| HowTo search for Prior Art in the Internet ]]. Don't forget to update the HowTo as you find new/different ways of accomplishing some tasks.
=====  overall "tagging system" roadmap =====

  *  create list of interactive tagging tools
    *  [[http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcHost|ccHost]]
    *  [[http://tasty.python-hosting.com/|Tasty]]
    *  [[http://www.chipx86.com/wiki/Leaftag|Leaftag]]
    *  ...
  *  evaluate tools, choosing one closest to our needs (or learning from one):
    *  external information pointers
    *  "author" tagging
    *  "community" tagging
    *  three-level tagging
    *  tag export
    *  tag inference engine
    *  tagging API (for source crawlers)
  *  modify/implement tagging tool, getting it to a usable state
  *  create packagable version of the software
  *  install software on osapa.org
  *  attempt to tag a specific piece of software
    *  choose "what" to tag
    *  modify tagging tool based on input from community
    *  choose export language (RDF, DOAP, others?)
    *  choose basic solution to time-stamping metadata changes
  *  have tagging meeting to get people in physical proximity
  *  request input from USPTO on usefulness of prototype (but continue work)
  *  approach freshmeat, SF, kernel.org with working prototype
    *  likely they'll want the DB schema or the export language
  *  popularize software tagging at the project-management level
  *  popularize software tagging at the community level
    *  must be FLOSS
    *  must be actually useful
    *  must be easy to use
  *  attempt to search against exported tags from multiple repositories
    *  work out any identified issues
  *  approach google, yahoo about carrying exported metadata
  *  get input from USPTO on search engine interfaces
    *  improve search elements
  *  rinse, lather, repeat
