Good aftertoon! Again, thanks for your continued support, welcome to Project Dedupe's 2nd edition! Let's see if I can stick to the template... What's been going on since the last Newsletter; A little research on Microsoft's attempt at fuzzy grouping in SQL Server 2005 - http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php/Existing_software A draft visual basic module is available on Subversion for cleaning up contact numbers (phone, fax etc) - http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/dedupe/vb_source Work has begun on a method of dealing with data in visual basic (reading input files, working with those files and then writing output files) Work has begun on extracting the country from "dirty data" in visual basic What's next; Hopefully v0.1 of the file in/out function for visual basic will be posted to Subversion Hopefully v0.1 of the country extraction function for visual basic will be posted to Subversion If you haven't already, please register on the wiki and write a few lines about yourself (if you could include where you're from (hopefully having members from different countries will enable us to develop a smarter application), what interests you about this project and what you may be able to contribute) on your user page ( http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php?title=User:username&action=editreplacing username with your usersname) Some stats; There are still only 4 users registered on the wiki (including me!) and 3 users registered as developers on sourceforge (again, including me!) The main page has seen over 1,600 hits since launch (seems like a lot of people are hitting the site, possibly even bookmarking it, but aren't yet drawn in enough to register/contribute) The most recently edited pages are; http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php/Existing_software http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php/Data_I/O http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php/Programming_languages <http://tickett.net/dedupe/index.php/Talk:Match_Levels> This, and all previously archieved newsletters can be viewed at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=48618 Thanks Lee (ltickett) Project Dedupe http://dedupe.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/dedupe |
