I hope to be able to release something like this in late 2001... a more
solid & optimized version of the WM AI Engine, which others can add onto as
they wish...
But as I said before, my estimate of how long it will take to turn the
current WM AI Engine into a real AI is 1-3 years with 15-30 people.... The
more the merrier though ;>

I don't think the AI system itself is a sufficiently rich perceptual
environment. But fortunately, we have the Net.
