Development
From OpenCog
Getting Started
- Read the OpenCogPrime:WikiBook, note the sections on atoms, nodes, and links.
- Check recent development updates at Discussion and GSoCProjects2008.
- Read background information at Publications.
- File bugs at Launchpad Bugs.
- Report build problems at opencog-developers.
- Join the IRC channel #opencog on Freenode
- There is a fork of Ubuntu tailored especially for OpenCog called OpenCogBuntu
Building OpenCog
- Build instructions are located here Building OpenCog.

User Guides, Examples
- Cookbook - small examples and code snippets on how to perform regular tasks.
- Hopfield network emulator - using attention allocation dynamics to memorize patterns.
- Scheme command reference - documents the commands that can be used to interact with OpenCog from a shell prompt.
- NLP pipeline - documents the current state of affairs in the natural language processing pipeline.

Future Planning
There are several architectural design tasks planned for OpenCog. Some are a long way off, while others are more of a priority. However, there have been discussions on these topics and so records are kept here to avoid rehashing the same arguments when we DO come to implementing these tools.
- Distributed Architecture
- Unified Rule Engine
- OpenCogPrime Design Suggestions
- Atomspace Visualization
