Introducing . . . nora

Our Web site for the nora project is now open. There’s not much to show (yet), but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes and content will start to appear in earnest over the next several months. We plan to have a white paper describing the initial phase of the work in some detail made available very soon.

Anyone not already privy care to guess why we chose the name nora?

Well, it's Bloomsday. Does the reason have something to do with Nora Joyce?

Nope. But see previous entry. ;-)

Congrats on getting the project site up, Matt. On http://www.noraproject.org/description.php it looks like the list items aren't in Trebuchet, as all the other the other text is, which might call for a stylesheet modification?

Now: about the name. Let's see, it must either have something to do with Pattern Recognition or War Games.

Oh, wait ... that was NORAD.

Are my patterns that predictable?

Greg Lord did the Web site; I'll pass the comment about the font on to him, if he doesn't see it here.
