What would Stallman have to say about that?

I read the write-up and, although I generally agree with his views on software patents, he takes other things to a level that reveals absolute ignorance of economics.

If no gnus are good gnus then all gnus are evil gnus - which makes extinction a logical choice!

Many years ago I developed a space exploration/resource management/transport management game. It is similar to several games already in existence but I wrote it back before they all existed (I started it in 1990). I ported it to an email game then web-based. I recently wrote a WinForms version that could be used instead of, or alongside, the web interface with more local what-if capabilities - and a faster response. I have been thinking about making it an article but some of the code is so ancient and clunky (translated from Rexx) that I am embarrassed to share it. However, I have written a fairly comprehensive help document of how it should work and was thinking of setting up a collaborative project to refactor it. It is currently written in C# (ported from the original Rexx) and using ASP.NET, JavaScript, jQuery, and SVG (for graphical/interactive space maps, etc). It's fairly crudely written having been originally designed for an IBM VM mainframe system. Recently I have used it to become proficient with SVG (and jQuery support). There is no database, I used text and XML files to store all the data - I am a skinflint and my ISP charges too much for SQL. Plus I load it all into memory at start-up so the files are just to store and retrieve the state of everything (I have that part working pretty well).
Do we have/could we create this facility on CP? - Probably not.
Can I take the criticism? - Probably not.
Any suggestions on how to go about it?
Note: This just for fun and will never be commercial.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks OG, I didn't know that existed.
Hmmm... However, having looked at that it seems a little bit too much like "codez pleez" and/or a little too commercially driven and under-exposed.
I am going to take up Sander's suggestion and put it in GitHub and invite people to help personally.

That's half the problem with it, not many do!
Do both: spread the love around.

Host it in a (private) GitHub / Azure DevOps / GitLab repository and see who wants to join you on this quest 
You can ask here and invite people who want to join to your project.
You can use email and/or Skype/Zoom and GitHub issues.

Thanks Sander. A good suggestion that I will probably follow.

It is the model created by Prof. Neil Ferguson and Imperial College in London, used by the UK and US to justify the shutdowns.

The 16 March 2020 Imperial College paper, entitled, Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce Covid-19 mortality and healthcare demand, has been one of the most influential papers in shaping policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
[..]
Most countries have responded in a manner advocated by the paper. Which still baffles me. Only one model, not peer-reviewed or scrutinized as one would expect from "scientists". (I posted similar news to you a few days ago)
If that's not weird enough, see Visual simulations show why we all need to wear masks now #UniversalMasking #masks4all #COVID19 - YouTube[^]. So, home-made masks would have been more effective than staying at home. Seems to work for Japan.
