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?
