There does seem to be some interest here in helping with the clean-up. Getting the code granted in its current state before we have a raft of Gitub contributors who have to grant little pieces of things makes IP clearance a little easier. I see no real downside to letting the cleanup happen in the Sandbox and the upside is we are more likely to build community here. Regarding the point about the code needing work, I am reminded of an observation once made by Stefano Mazzocchi: There are four possibilities when it comes to code being "open-sourced" - good code, good ideas; good code, bad ideas; bad code, good ideas; and bad code, bad ideas - the third one is the one that tends to work best. Honestly, the code looks pretty decent to me; but there is a lot to do to make it approachable and complete. And the ideas are certainly interesting. So why not get it cleanly granted, put it in the Sandbox and see what develops?
