Re: [recommenders-dev] Question regarding code searching: GSOC applicati

funny, I used to study there myself for one year. Is Mike Horsch still
the machine learning guy in town?

There is a whole MSc thesis [1] and prototype implementation [2] for you
to look at.

But the answer is yes, definitely; you want to be able to find other
code in your current workspace that is similar to the one you are
currently working on (uses the same types, calls the same methods, etc.)

Have a look at the thesis certainly helps. Also, the Bugzilla issue I
linked to contains much of the discussion on this topic so far. (For the
rest, search the mailing list archives.)

Hope that helps.
