I've got an idea that is fairly simple (initially). Can you share a link or something to work that you have done already?
I've got a concept that does not have any code written behind it yet, I'd be willing to see what could be whipped up quickly.

Could you explain what work do you need done?
Most immediately, I need to turn this file https://github.com/2grep/CoPATH-Parser/blob/master/tests/Abb... into this file https://github.com/2grep/CoPATH-Parser/blob/master/tests/Des... longer story: I'm a doctor in the military, and we use IT systems derived from the VA's original VIsTA project. If you've ever heard of Mumps, this is it. The manuals date back to the early 80s. I am trying to build out some infrastru…
Unfortunately I don't know python, I'm ruby-rails-mysql for my day job.
If you're interested in going down ruby (and even mysql or i can probably get up to speed on postgres, as it's a bit rusty), I can get involved.

Links - not really, all work I've done lately is pretty much secret unfortunately.. one of the main reason why I'm offering this (but not the main one - I just love coding cool things).

This is a mischaracterization what curve-fitting algorithms do. You generally have to pick the function you want to fit, and then it's parameters are varied to minimize some comparison function. This means that this function would need to take the data, a chosen function, and a comparison function to minimize. Also, this is a pure JavaScript project, and the OP wants to do something with HTML/CSS/etc.
Do I need to create the function I want to fit? Or would I have to look for a function that looks 'similar' to a plot of my data? So say my data 'looks' like a cubic function, I would need to supply it a blank(missing the coefficients) cubic function? Also thank you for clearing up the mischaracterization.
A good implementation will have a bunch of ready-to-use functions for - polynomials of various degrees, at least.

If you want, the needed input cases and their desired output forms are in the repo, I would love to see how it's done in Ruby.

I'm not completely wed to postgresql, but I would hate to give up Joe, who has been tremendously helpful. And most of my admin experience is with postgresql (blogs, wikis, etc).

#66I want this[1], but a version that works online. Should support multiple calenders per user so that I can track more than one goal at the same time. Have one dashboard view where I can see an overview of all my goals. [1] http://seinfeldcalendar.com/
http://joesgoals.com does a pretty good job in my opinion, but it shows last 7 days instead of full month.

Polynomial curve fitting can be "dangerous". As in, extrapolating results can be unpredictable if not done right.
I recall an example where 7-8 points, trending up, are fitted with a polycurve that sharply dropped right after the last data point thereby giving erroneous prediction.

#70hey Sam.
google directions allows you to add up to 26 places. it gives you driving directions, estimated time to drive each leg, and miles etc. It does not sync up with date/time info though.
I have posted all my ideas on the mapwhen twitter https://twitter.com/mapwhen
basically the idea is to have the interface like google directions, https://maps.google.com/ but add a date field and time field next to each location you add. That way you can plan where you will be when.
This can work for everyone from parents doing errands, where they need to leave work by a certain time, then get to the soccer practice by a certain time, then home by a certain time. Or for someone planning a 2 week road trip. you add 20 locations and the dates/times you need to be there. Using google's genius directions info, you get the drive times, the distances etc.... but then also create a way for all that data to be synced with date/time info.
I would imagine that once someone was logged in they would have a set of favorite locations, where they could just set the times they need to be places... also ideas like syncing with facebook checkins or foursquare, also ideas like having the app show you various entertainment or eating places, or gas stations along your planned trip, if you wanted.
I have all the ideas on the mapwhen twitter
