Yeah... it's too bad Y-Combinator doesn't seem to trust the hacker community enough to risk open sourcing their code and taking public pull requests. Can't risk having people see the algorithms and whatnot.

Heaven knows the "dozens" of Arc programmers out there probably don't have much else to do...
