That would be too cool. I'd love to see this happen. I wonder what kind of market there is for something like this.
EDIT: I'm going to be looking through the code more today, though right now I am going through finals at college. I don't want to promise anything, but this is something I could see myself contributing to, if you'd want (though now might not be the time so early in the process). Shoot me an email (in profile), if you'd like to be in touch.
Documentation is nonexistent, sorry for that. That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that this hit the front page, should have thought of that earlier.
I'll go through and comment it though, this resonance has given me a big boost in motivation.
May I recommend Microsoft's TrueSkill algorithm for ranking genomes? There's C#[1] and Java[2] implementations available. Full disclosure, I have no association with Microsoft Research, but I am the author of JSkills.
