Before you guys get all excited, pls know that IBM has had hundreds of R&D projects (based on open source software) that have eventually failed. This could easy be one of those internal R&D projects that fades into obscurity.

I know, I used to work there. Their internal failure rate is fairly high. Which is why the acquire way more technology solutions than they home grow.

Very good point. I had a friend who worked there and he told me how for a while they were really into Second Life. LOL

Even if they fail to create a successful product they may develop some interesting bits of code that others can use along the way.
