Seeking contact with -notably- commercial users

Hi,

I know some commercial users and I also know there are more out there
that are not on this list and with whom I never had contact directly.
Please forward this message if you happen to know such users.

Many of you have a wishlist. At this moment, there are several options
to get grants for further development if there is co-sponsering from
commercial users or -in some cases- merely a statement that "this
feature would be of great help for my business". Even without grants,
it may be interesting for you to join forces and sponsor development.

Information you provide is kept confidential.

Below are some projects that are in the waiting queue, just to give
you an idea.  I'm seeking for ways to get these things realised
quicker than doing it myself next to other obligations.

	Thanks --- Jan

================================================================

- Tabling.  Most will know what it is ...
- Porting probabilistic extensions (e.g., ProbLog).  Requires tabling.
- Performance enhancements.  It will be hard to beat YAP, but it should
   be fairly easy to get significant improvements.
- Deep indexing (i.e., indexing into term arguments).
- Well integrated debugging and analysis tools (notably typing, mode and
   determinism).
- Web-based development tools.
- Transaction based database.  Useful for dynamic code, can also
   provide controlled hot-swapping of code in multi-threaded servers.
- Cleanup goal-expansion.  Provide inline predicates and partial evaluation.
- Enhance scaling multi-threading, notably by reducing locking.
- Establish tutorial material aiming at SWI-Prolog's extensions and
   libraries.
- Improve the manual and website (get Anne's work finished)
- RDF support enhancements: faster reload, improve query optimization,
   notably for queries that involve literals.
- ... whatever you need
