WOW!! Considering all the $millions that went into Cyc, i am *very* surprised
any part of Cyc is going public!! On the other paw, it's not too surprising
considering Lenat's lack of success with pre-Cyc projects. He has never, to
my knowledge, reached a publicly stated Ai goal. At least open source might
get him more help. I noticed the email list archives on sourceforge are
empty, what's up with that? Is there really no interest in Cyc? And why is
there so much Java in the opencyc code?
