<p style="margin-left:8px;">
The NetBeans team interviewed Zoran Sevarac from Neuroph, the open-source neural network framework. We talk about what neural networks look like, how they do their magic, and why the NetBeans IDE was the natural choice for the Neuroph development team. In part two we have a closer look at use cases and what neural networks can do for Java developers.</p>

<p style="margin-left:8px;">

<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=4098">Improving Kenai Services in NetBeans 6.8 Projects</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
After you check out a project from Kenai and open it in your NetBeans IDE, you no longer need a "Share on Kenai" context-menu action for it. In NetBeans IDE 6.8, you will see a new "Kenai" submenu instead. Use this menu for navigating to the associated Kenai project in the Kenai dashboard, or to file bugs for this Kenai project.</p>
