[Dev-flock] ThoughtAndMemory dev ramp up + meet the team

[Christopher Pepe]

Team,
Sorry for the late notice but I'll be unable to come to tonights
meeting.  I was intending to but my wife caught a bug this weekend and
I'm going to stay home with her.  Here's my input though - email and
IRC meetings work for me.  I am moving to North Carolina in a few
months so meeting in person won't be an option for me for too much
longer.

My interest in food stems from the fact that I fancy myself a good
cook.  My focus is healthy, whole food and of course many products
make impressive claims about how great they are for you - I'd be
interested to see if they really are.  There's a lot of mixed data out
there largely due to food scientists constantly changing the rules
about what is 'good' for us (eggs have been good, bad, and inbetween
throughout my life) so I would like to see TAM helping to clarify
that.  I also think it would be nice to know what actions back the
claims a company makes (how 'green' are they really, do they slash and
burn forests, mistreat their workers, treat employees really well...).
 I know the beauty of TAM is that all of this information would
*ideally* be available for lots of foods and users could then create
profiles to just filter out the information they are interested in
personally.

>From a technological standpoint the mailer is the piece that I know
needs to be worked on and I have some experience with it.  The two
approaches that I've investigated are using gmail through the google
api or sending mail directly from the server using smtplib.  I haven't
looked at receiving or processing incoming mail directly but I don't
expect that is too difficult either.  Please send me the meeting
minutes or any notes if you can.  Thanks, Christopher
