Chet,
I think you pretty much covered all bases there without giving Direction and Leadership to any.
Starting something New though, would immediately put everyone in Front os something New they could build upon.
Considering Sun Technology/Methodology/Vision, which states that the Network is the Computer, who Better Placed is there in CyberSpaces....AI Virtualised Environments to Create a Live Global Quantum Computer Floating between Networks Gathering and Disseminating Information for Further Third Party Analysis and Adoption/Adaptation via Positive Reinforcement of Positive Positions and Outright Rejection of Negative Sentiment.
It is illogical, except for the Creation of Chaos, in anything you may care to mention, to Support and Reinforce Negative Sentiment for it does not Show a Lead, and if Followed will lead to a Negative Place/Living Hell? And that is surely a Manufactured Madness easily rendered a Past Folly of Man by Exorcising such Negative Script out of Code and Communications.
I am of the Opinion that Wwwe have already built the Quantum Computer that is necessary to Virtualise an Orderly Transition to a Virtual Reality devoid of Negativity...... for, of course, InterNetworking Open Source Micro Analyses ITs Macro Code.

But that is most definitely just a Business Tangent for Buffalo Bill Cody Gates and the Capitalista Cavalry to Monetize. That MS choice is always only a Purchase away. IT is their Way 42 Buy IT in and/or Buy into IT whenever IT is Priceless.]
