> ... is that the gist of it?

Yes, it is.

I'd like to improve the speech recognition and expected some advice about that.

Another possibility is to add a semantic level with NLP or use another library like Kaldi (http://kaldi-asr.org/).

Another particularity: the WAV file is serialized in JSON (as an array).

Yes but as it is open source everybody will know who game what.

Done ;-)

A first wiki could be around your project. It can be made with existing tools (pandoc, github...) if the workflow is clear enough (even with manual parts).

Why not use Markdown instead of MediaWiki syntax?

About URLs, you can take a look at StrongLink: https://github.com/btrask/stronglink

Your JSON subset is very interesting too: https://github.com/seagreen/Son

vmorgulis··on Open-source Funding and Support Questionnaire
I'm thinking of something automated.

For example, it's possible to gather some metrics of the usage of libraries from a running process (with strace, google perftools, source maps in javascript...).

It can be a process used by a real user or autotests from the project.

A software could monitor those probes and allow the user to reward the dependencies that:

- use less CPU or energy

- use less memory

- contains less bugs

The two supported wiki markups:

- MediaWiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

- TWiki http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TextFormattingRules

I wonder which one is the closest to WikiWikiWeb syntax.

Another cool stuff would be to put that in the gopherspace.

vmorgulis··on Show HN: IHazSpam – Temporary disposable email

The code desn't have to perfect. Just to add some content about free software in your site.

Tweeter might help you too.

vmorgulis··on Show HN: IHazSpam – Temporary disposable email
Very cool and fast.

Why not publish the code (or some parts)? You could increase the trust in your service.

I'll use it next time I need to register somewhere.
