To pitch in in this conversation, I do agree with Olivier that reimplement libsvm or liblinear should not be our priorities, as we have them, and they work reasonnably well. I agree with David that we would need to garner more credibility (and I add more man power) to sustain such an effort.
I am not saying that this should be done in the long run, I am just suggesting that I think that they are other frontiers on which our efforts are better spent. With regards to LaSVM, I would rather pitch a summer of code project as having a good on-line SVM solver, that would incorporate the core ideas from LaSVM, but that would also be useable in a real out-of-core setting. I believe that doing this right, including worrying about the parameter selection, is a reasonnable GOSC (hear, hear students).
