Well that is probably an overstatement but there is admitedly some truth 
in it, i am ashamed to say.

But, less shamefully, I think coherency of website is important.  For this
reason there is a good chance we will not want to execute e.g. the 
rumination studies on the open heart logic website.

Then again, maybe the vision (ahem, pardon me for using such ghastly 
dilbert-like lingo! (-;) open heart logic should not be so narrowly
defined as "the logic of emotion, thoery of mind, in an open source type 
of context."....rather perhaps it should be a sort of trademark on 
anything we do.  More on this later.  I would really like Josh's input on 
this point.

The brass tacks or nuts and bolts question is this: Do we want ne
webiste or several?  Should the rumination study happen at the same
url as the joshua goal study or as the turing challenge study?

The big picture version of these questions are : what kind of web
identity do we want?  What is the vision of open heart logic?

Well I think we are far from that option.  But as an insurance policy
it would be good for us all to have access to the code -- e.g. if god
forbid there was some big earthquake or you wer incapacitated or
whatever it would sink open herat logic.  I don't know how to get "the
code", can you tell me?

Of course, I am happy to reciprocate.  I am not sure what I might have
(e.g. tucked away in files) that is eseential - thoughts?  The wiki is
a nice way to prevent me from hoarding stuff.
