So; why no SourceForge (www.sourceforge.net) project?

There is an incredible level of interest in AI of all sorts among the
developer cloud surrounding SourceForge...and it occurs to me that you guys
could harness some of that momentum into getting code on paper, as it were.

Does SI feel that there *is* useful coding work that can be done at this
stage? Is there any way in which the mission could be damaged by having ten
or twenty part time people working away on something under the institute's
guidance? Is open sourcing work that could be done at this stage a bad thing
from your point of view?
