Torsten I work in a science research organisation and would be interested. The only downside would the volume of code you estimate is needed. 10k/30k is about 1/3 that needs rewriting for each organisation? That sounds very high. Maybe once the dust settles on this project and the refactoring can be done, the re-usability will be higher? I'd think that there would be many in universities and "open science" organisations (as opposed to proprietary research companies) that could help with such an effort. It's also clear that some thought will need to go into this "up front" in order to maximise reuse of code.
