  • slr = Spoken Lecture Repository

To Do:

  • Document installation of slb code on his Mac, and also slr on his Mac [Andrew]
  • Draw up architecture that currently exists, then determine how to abstract what currently exists [Andrew & John] 
  • Ask Scott Cyphers if they have an architecture drawing [Andrew]

Questions:

  • What are the limits of in-memory database? (Done originally because SLS received funding from Nokia)
  • What would it take to run the browser on multiple smartphones (connect up with Andrew Yu @ MIT re: the infrastructure he's running for smartphones
  • Did we get domain and speaker models in the code from SLS already?
  • No labels
