Back in yesteryear, I used to do Oracle work and came across a few
bugs. At any rate, Oracle had this automated system whereby you
entered a TAR (Technical Assistance Request). In it you described
your problem and then submitted it to the system. Before actually
putting it into the support queue, however, it took your text and ran
it as a query against all the previous TARs and the Oracle knowledge
base and asked you if any of the items satisfied your question. If
it did, great, you were satisfied, if not you could continue on with
your request. I would say it correctly answered my concern 6 out of
10 times (that might be a little high).
Why do I mention all of this? Does anyone know of a Mailing List
Manager (MLM) that could take in an email, search the archive, spit
back the top 20 results (plus FAQ and JIRA) to the person? Then if
the user finds the answer they are happy and we are happy b/c we
don't have to answer something that has already been answered 10
times before. If not, they simply reply back to the MLM and it
forwards on the original message to the list. I briefly thought
about hooking Lucene up to ezlm for this, but just didn't have the
time. However, if we could get our hands on an MLM that does that,
maybe this would be one way to leverage all of that knowledge? Any
takers?
Maybe this is a good Google SoC project...
