[seqfan] Re: A metric and UI for Pandora-like OEIS exploration

[Robert Munafo]

Hi Alexander,

I think Superseeker is great, and just re-checked its documentation at
http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/superhelp.txt. However it
appears that the Superseeker functionality is difficult to transfer to
a user's local machine.

Read that page and note that Superseeker is server-based and depends
upon Mathematica, Maple, and "various other programs". It is tied to a
server which limits users to one request per hour. Furthermore, the
request probably takes more than one or two seconds to respond.

Therefore, it would delay the responsiveness of the
auto-recommendation substantially. My current implementation takes
less than 4 seconds and does not need Internet access to run.

I would suggest instead that, if two sequences are related in this
way, and if they are not already linked by an academic reference in
the %H fields or in some other similar way, then a cross-reference
should be added (perhaps in a %F field or %Y field, for examples of
both see A006542).
