http://AIMind-I.com is where Mr. Frank J. Russo (FJR)
has created its own website for his version of my
http://mind.sourceforge.net/mind4th.html AI in Forth.

On another note, Ben Goertzel et al. keep harping here
about the sorry state of AGI funding. My own A(G)I 
funding has always come just from working odd jobs.
Now as Mind.Forth starts to proliferate and others
like FJR create their own versions of the AI Mind --
with Internet communication features more advanced
that what I initially created -- the funding problem
gets "laid off" (like a racetrack bet) onto the
finances of whoever jumps on the AI Mind bandwagon.
For instance, I don't know what Frank J. Russo pays for
http://AIMind-I.com but I could not afford to pay it.

Recently I discovered (through my Site Meter log hits)
that it was possible to place AI "Help Wanted" ads on
SourceForge, publicly visible for two weeks with option
to renew the ads. A high-powered recruit responded to my ad
http://sourceforge.net/people/viewjob.php?group_id=31619&job_id=28185
"Looking for the Johnny Appleseed of artificial intelligence."

I intend to put the mind-module jobs up for grabs
on SourceForge as Open-Source AI "Help Wanted" blurbs.
http://mentifex.virtualentity.com/helpnews tells about it.
