A while ago, I mentioned the World Community Grid . . . http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
. . . and a couple of people mentioned that it was not a Libre software project. This raises a question: would it be possible to create and maintain something like the WCG, with the same humanitarian goals, that was based upon Libre software (and hopefully hardware) all the way through? I have no illusions that such a venture would be quick and easy at all; the presence or absence of a large corporate sponsor, like IBM supports the WCG, would be just one of many challenging issues. In any case, I toss the idea out here for you to think about. I look forward to seeing everyone's thoughts. Joel
