[seqfan] Number Gossip and OEIS

[Tanya Khovanova]

My number gossip website is dead (you can see the story in my blog: http://blog.tanyakhovanova.com/?p=416

Now I have to find a new host for the site. I think that number gossip has a large overlap with OEIS. I wonder if OEIS wants to host the number gossip as a kids corner, or something like that.

You can see how it worked at the webarchive:

The idea behind number gossip was more entertainment than research initially. It started with 40 number properties. I chose important properties and properties with cool names. Later I added unique properties. Almost every unique property has a corresponding sequence. (and I have the sequence numbers in my internal database). Most of the properties are of the type: the smallest/largest number such that ...

My database is very clean. I checked and rechecked every property many times. I wrote tons of Mathematica code to do that. Sometimes I relied on papers, but I had to have several papers to confirm the number property.


The style of number gossip was simplicity.

I wonder whether OEIS would like to take over Number Gossip.
