Frankly I'm surprised by the dearth of information on the Internet about the
key players:
David Lawrence, John Dowling or Karen Danski, or the "Perfect Data" project.


Either this points out the deficiencies of the Internet (which is the point
they are trying to make) or they are remarkably obscure.  On the other hand,
it's easy to find information about Kathy so I don't think we can entirely
blame Google!

Probably as most Perth People do not make it on the internet (I and a 
few other perthies on this list seem to be an exception) I am not 
concerned, they have good standing in Au working on many DB projects for 
major government departments (hospitals, Grains research project etc) 
but that does not earn you computer qudos and get you on the internet.

Which is a shame.

Hi Kat,
To me this sounds like some sort of scam. However if there is 
genuine money behind it it might be worth approaching a university. 

As a student of UWA (Im a Perthie) this would make a very 
interesting final year project for a group of students, either 
developing a custom silicon solution or a parralel 'off the shelf' 
computer. You benefit from free labour, the students benfit from 
getting a unique oppertunity to develop a product that otherwise 
would be way beyond any uni's budget.

Interested?

Yes, but I would rather do it as a post grad idea with some students 
comming in to work with me, rather than having it tied up buy a uni who 
want money from units sold etc.

I am copying all emails (good and bad) without names or email addresses 
to the board, so that they can see responses and fix documentation 
acordingly, I will be meeting with the legal team shortly to discus a 
few problems (one of which is me being a company (I am currently just a 
registered business) so I will bring it up then, and if I can get some 
safe guards in place to assure my ownership etc so that I can protect 
what is not going to be freely avaliable (like the data sets etc) then I 
would be happy to do it with a uni, but if I can not protect then it 
will be with grad dip students in "work experiance".

I am not looking for free labour, and I have tried to avoid the pitfalls 
of uni pre conceptions (most establishments say it will never work, but 
look at IBM who was trying to clone molocules and actually transported 
them instead, out of imposible Ideas, we stumble on other things that 
can and do make money.)

Regards,

Kat.
