That's how I'm choosing to look at this. Hewlett got the ball rolling, but perhaps it's time to approach sustainability a bit differently now. That's been one of the themes of the conference, for me at least. From this morning's session, "if you're not spending time planning for sustainability, you're wasting your time". Maybe a more decentralized approach? Under the umbrella of the Open Ed consortium/group that was just launched? The tools need a hand up, not a hand out.

I hope we meet someday in person! Lame joke, sorry. I was very disappointed to hear this too, as I think this is a very hot project and pretty much exactly what I want to see more of. And the COSL people were the right people for the job. I understand that MOCSL last gasp will be a code release of the various tools. I think the most constructive thing we can do is try to assist the code connecting with a broader developer community so this promising work (much of it very near completion) can fulfill the pretty monstrous potential. I'm no programmer, but will definitely work to help in any way I can. Scott, what an interesting comment! I hope we meet someday in person!
