Yes, we definitely need to have a list of NN examples with data and
configuration.  90%+ of the people out there learn from examples +
doc *far* better than they learn from doc alone.

But there may be a problem with that.  What you need to train
neural networks is massive data sets.  As installed we ought to
have a 'data' directory that contains MNIST, an image database,
and several other things.  But I have no idea whether Savannah
will be okay with a single project that occupies a very large
amount of disk space.  Or, when people come to download it, a
very large amount of bandwidth.

We may wind up having to put a torrent link in the doco for some
of the massive data sets, and then one or more of us can host the
torrent ourselves to make sure it never goes down.

Speaking of which, has someone already done that?

Hmm, nope.  A quick search of 'MNIST' on bittorrent comes back
empty.  Gonna have to fix that.....
