[wp-hackers] Comment Spam Database

Hello,
    I am mildly interested in tackling the spam database integration 
with Wordpress.  Let it be clear, when I say "tackle" I mean gently 
throw my 130 pound body against it and see if it happens to tip over.  
I'm an intermediate PHP programmer and a pretty poor programmer as a 
whole, otherwise I'd take on the project with more authority and confidence.
    I have a really simple idea.  Mostly, I want it to "Just Work".  In 
the comment listing in wp-admin, there would be a checkbox next to each 
displayed column.  Somewhere on the page would be a button: "Submit to 
Spam Database".  When that is checked, it runs a few functions and 
submits the content to the database.  Unfortunately, checking messages 
against the database is over my head at this time.
    I hate to disappoint, but this won't have bayesian filtering or any 
of that magic stuff.  I also don't have the skills to write the database 
server that would house the spam.  I could try, I guess.  If you were 
ever wanting to describe something as "the suck", then ask me to design 
the server.
    Is someone working on this?  If not, is there demand for it?  If so, 
can someone help me get the server going?

Thanks,
Kevin Breit
