I'd like to see simple naive Bayesian classifiers in Ruby for blocking
blog spam. I was going to do something like this but got distracted.
Rails is only getting bigger, and blog spam is a real problem.

There's already an OS blog spamblocker being created, but it's
centralized, rather than decentralized, which I have doubts about,
even though it seems to make sense. The other point of significant
doubt there is that the thing is actually run by a guy who got busted
using Google spam in a huge way.
