I think the idea is great. You need not take all the code. If it is
modular enough, each one of us can plug his / her own formula or criteria
rapidly creating a trading solution the infra-structure of which was
already tested by different people in varying scenarios. You can
concentrate though on your own trading techniques and research, rather
then reinventing the wheel.

A problem with this single approach is that we may have different
objectives. I'm trying to develop an automated option day-trading
system using vb.net. Other are looking for a position-trading
system. Some are into stocks or futures.

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
