IOhannes,
I agree the best place for my external is inside ann (that is why I posted to the list) and I also agree that it should remain GnuGPL. I will just rename it from "nn" to "ann_mlp", is it ok for you?
It is the first time I put something in CVS so please be patient and help me not messing up your code: my external needs fann so it will need a different makefile from ann and ann_som, I think is better to put ann_mlp in a subfolder than ann and ann_som, something like externals\ann\ann_mlp Am I right? Or is it better to change the makefile and put everything in the externals\ann\src directory?
I am honored to share an external with you, by the way thank you for GEM, zexy and the external howto (I wrote my external only thanks to it!).
My external has one major problem: the training process. It is tricky to fill a file with training patterns but the real problem is that when I train the network using the training file I halt pd until the function returns (see train_on_file function) which can take minutes. This slows down the pc. Is there a way to do it in an asynchronous way? Something like creating a thread? Is out there an example of external using threading?
Davide.

Hi list, I just finished a little external I wrote to use FANN classes in PD. It is about multi layered neural networks.
I would like to know who is the author of the ann_som external, I think he could be interested in it (for ann_mlp).
its me.
i haven't tried your code yet, but if you do not mind, i would highly appreciate if you would like to include your external into ann.
btw, since i haven't done anything to ann within the last 4 years (or so), i wouldn't even mind if you join the development of ann (or take it over...)
the only thing is, that it should remain onder GnuGPL.
