Maybe I was stretching the metaphor. The idea is that some problems are worth solving, others are not. "Real" problems are valuable to discover and solve. We discover them by making software, using it, and finding areas for small improvement. It is very hard to discover such problems working alone. A major goal is to build the most diverse community possible so the discovery process -- the mining -- can happen across a wide area.
