IMHO, releasing it with a couple of working examples would be sufficient to get the ball rolling for most of the hacker types who would be interested in working with the prototype.

As the code is C# based, Visual Studio Express would provide the perfect vehicle for experimentation, requiring little in the way of formal packaging.

Release it under Github and let the organic evolutionary forking work.

I would expect there to be a flurry of prototyping activity, which should be culled into a stable release once this phase settles.

I would recommend to get the ball rolling now before the conference in October so that it can be released then.

Lambda the Ultimate Programming with Managed Time To appear in Onward! 2014; abstract:

>>Live coding vs. live programming ... But if instead you were trying to develop better nuclear plant software tested via simulation, a live programming environment might make more sense.

My Motivation: I'm one of those guys "trying to develop better" safety critical Avionics Software "tested via simulation".

Thank you for being so enthusiastic and optimistic about my research, it really means a lot to me.

I'll see what I can do; it would be nice to have this project up at least on Github.
