Would like to take it up! But i'm new to Open Source so if someone could guide me around that would be nice. One suggestion i do have though is that there could be a max value for the confidence value , and we could stop updating when the value is reached

Context
------------
In libvarnam, when a word is learned it has a confidence associated with it. Currently, this confidence is implemented as a running serial number. For example, if 10 people types a word, then it will have a confidence of 10. This implementation is very simple and works well so far.

Problem
----------

This implementation is not highly scalable. When more people starts to use the system, the confidence value could easily go beyond the integer limit.

Proposal
------------

Change the confidence algorithm and normalize the values to a possible range. This is still in the early stages and lot of discussion is required on what method to choose.
