Changelog
From OpenCog
A high-level changelog that includes all OpenCog-related projects. Individual projects typically keep their own (more detailed) changelogs; it's expected that the number and quality of these individual changelogs will improve over time, as the regularity of stable and official releases increases. See also the Status page.

2007
Decision to open source the Novamente Cognition Engine (which contained a mixture of production and development code), preliminary discussions between Andre Senna, Cassio Pennachin, Ben Goertzel, David Hart and others about best practices to follow with OpenCog, e.g. experimental and inelegant features of the NCE to leave behind, which parts to cut/change/improve for the sake of consistency and the high standards of the open source community, etc.
