The intrinsic (?) value of these things seem to be that they can be "generated" via a simple web "session". Where, here "session" means "filling out a form, basically". Without that word it was steep up-hill but even with it, not much glimmer of recognition here, seemingly, on what this could mean. I concocted a "realistic" (as far as I know) scenario where a life (or 2 or 3) could be saved daily - but the question came up only on "Games". The answer is a resounding YES but the open source world continues to confound me with things like IronRuby OPEN-SOURCE from MicroSoft??? My golly, are they not the Evil Empire? And why was "Matz" (a genuine HERO, in my book) wearing a Python T-Shirt? at IronRuby. I am feeling OK with it all given the sandbox to put the situation up in once somewhat cohesive manner at http://trevoke.net/ruids/ (nothing for sale, only ideas on how something could happen that makes sense to everybody (including me) given all the circumstances. Just putting it up to a gitHub without support, without documentation, and "to see what happens" just does not seem to make any sense.) On the other hand - honestly - the more I have learned the more I think it could be an interesting contribution at the right time. George
