Create a tool to measure which newspaper uses the most words from newspeak in their online articles.

(2) Add the appropriate labels to your post, e.g. 'idea' or 'lightning talk' (or both for idea pitches), 'interests', 'skills' or 'experience'. Use 'help wanted' as needed. (3) Don't worry about these introductory lines - you can leave or delete them, as they won't display anyway (you can check this via Preview). (4) Hit the 'Submit new issue' button. ============================"

It would be interesting to create a tool that analyses newspaper articles published in their online edition and gives an estimate on how much newspeak words (from 1984) are used. Provide a ranking of these newspapers and host the tool publicly so it can be shared and a mechanism (cron jobs?) so the information stays up to date.

See you tomorrow, Andrea

@andrea-f You showed a prototype yesterday - can you post the link here?

We will be closing the ticket soon, but this doesn't mean it cannot be worked on. Only some housekeeping from the event.

Hi @Daniel-Mietchen the screenshot used is in the git repo.

Ah, OK - hadn't noticed it was a screenshot.
