I would go beyond that...
Imagine a nucleus project growing. Every week or so it gets improved.
Older versions are retained...as a history to an evolution.
People download and tweak and then upload. We look, try it, and
comment. It morphs continuously as a result of many minds and
opinions....features are added, kept or tried and discarded. Input
comes from traders and programmers...eventually the project is a
viable tool, and the evolution continues.
It is free for everyone, even those who choose not to participate in
its developement. It is freeware of the best sort. Shaped by the
minds and experiences of many...freely diseminated. Source Code Open.
As time passes our pet "Board" project branches and takes on new
shapes and directions....perhaps merges back in totality or part.
I can see that. I see a commuinity project that is the best of all
those who wish to contribute, and free in totality.
Such a project and endeavor would be persistently satisfying, though
unlikely in reality....
In the meantime...I will continue to morph my little starter cell
project...new updates added...broader examples depicted...
It will be interesting to see if and when it becomes infectious

With respect to censorship, I'd vote for letting "commercial"
interests show up here as long as they aren't just spamming, and
are
willing to be subjected to serious questions about their product.
For
example, if someone from CyberTrader showed up, left a site
address,
and claimed that everything IB is doing they do better (including
API
support), then, IMHO, it would be better to go after them and get
them to explain themselves than to just kick them off. If they kept
spamming us without answering questions, then screw em, but
otherwise
they would just be adding good content to the board.
