Ok John,
The OSR project I am proposing is called Free Press Bible. It is to be a tool for "ideological self-examination, personal development, and deep social networking" based on the self-canonization process. It is meant to be useful whether or not someone thinks of their belief/value system as being "their religion" or not. It is to be a personal media management and content curation toolkit designed so that it can be used in an entirely decentralized fashion. i.e you don't have to be a "member" of any officiated group, religious or otherwise to use it. Users have the option to use the social networking functionality to network with other users based on commonality of articles. Each component of the toolkit is FOSS. As far as the website goes everything but the Free Press Bible name (Which is my trademark), users are free to copy and use independently. If users submit articles to the FPB website "article portal" and they later become dissatisfied with how the FPB site is being managed, I have made forking the ENTIRE project an easy matter. I actually even HOPE that I can get someone with better connections than me to fork the project and I even have a registered domain to give them (amenablebible.com) if they express interest AND have demonstrable technical ability, funding, or connections in academia or the broader FOSS community. Even though spirituality is a concept I don't personally find appealing, I would be willing to hand over the amenablebible domain to someone who did, so long as they were contractually obligated to keep the project open source and to uphold the idea that the project is to be a TOOLKIT and users should be creating their own communities (if they want) based on commonality (or lack thereof for those who want to debate:)) of articles.
If you want to read what others have to say about open-source you are free to Google the term. I would be surprised if you hadn't already. Should I doubt that you are being purposefully disingenuous here?
I do have specific ideas about how to develop religious belief systems in an open-source manner, it's not like I have been hitherto silent about the matter. The method I am trying to develop and promote is based on what I call "self-canonization", and unless you don't recall our earlier conversations, you already know that.
I will -for now- leave it up to you to do your own research on the various open-source development models and focus what you said about the "core information" for most religions being readily available. Are you referring to the various canons of sacred scriptures?
