Re: [pbmserv-dev] Re: [pbmserv] popularity of games

I have always wanted to be able to do some data mining
on Richard's server in the spirit of:

People who play X might also enjoy Y...

That is the most useful suggestion.  On a more
academic note I am curious whether any interesting
clusters could be discerned.  I have guesses what they
might be (the backgammon lovers, chess variants, shogi
variants..) but no hard data.

Cheers,

Lyman
