Open Prediction Markets

After working on the system for a bit I finally re-launched Open Prediction Marktets Beta site.

The beta.openpredictionmarkets.org site has two goals:

• To serve as the place running the leading edge of my prediction market code
• To help the Drupal community make more accurate predictions about its future

I just realized there are now a few of these, so I wanted to create a list:

• Bookmaker which has releases for 6.x and 5.x, but no commits in the last year.
• Betting which has a 6.x release, and the last commit was 5 weeks ago, but there is an issue in the queue that says it doesn't work.
• Prediction Market no releases and no open bugs, active 28 weeks ago.

Drupal user Rob Knight has begun work on a new module - http://drupal.org/project/pm - which aims to provide a market maker in Drupal.

A quick review of his TODO.txt shows a bit of work left (userpoints integration, in particular, is important).
