This would be nice. I was thinking more along the lines of several
cooperating sf.net projects.
By what I vaguely called incremental, I meant that the project could be
released in stages, each of which would be useful. This, as opposed to
waiting until all the functionality was in place before letting users try
it out.

What's your philosophy of open source licenses? I chose the Apache one,
because I sensed that there was no turning back from gnu. Also, I didn't
want a licence that was too long, or that prevented the code from being
reused. Is there some anti-GPL propaganda out there that I could read?

Sounds like a good idea, but I bet people would be paranoid about privacy
issues. It's easiest to keep a blog public. (why the all caps by the way,
it's not an acronym, but derived from 'weblog')
Also, check out http://www.advogato.org/ it's kind of a slashdot with
personal journals.

Cycles don't scare me. Check out my graph layout example
http://www.touchgraph.com I've got a first draft of locality working.

It's all about the network-like configuration.
