I don't know how true this is, but I'm not sure exactly how relevant it is 
either. Here's a radical idea... Why not simply solicit from us?

E.g., I have a large group of SQL CLI prototypes that I've used for years. I'd 
have no problem donating them to an IBM-sponsored project that would make them 
available everywhere. I have a bunch of others, but I've seen very similar ones 
from lots of other sources.

Maybe IBM doesn't really need a very large group of programmers for this nor 
much time (relative to what it would take from scratch, of course.) Maybe all 
they need is someone willing to collect them along with samples of usage and 
package them, similar to QUSRTOOL.
