I feel the same way and like the stated objectives enough to suggest
and offer actual financial support for such an effort.  Is there any
existing mechanism which has ever been demonstrated to result in 
reliable working software for non-proprietary use?  I'd personally
offer $1000 toward such a system, although I'd try to get my campus
to pay it if I could.  Would anyone care to contribute any other 
funds, perhaps to be paid upon successful trial & inspection?  Are 
there HUNGRY programmers ready to attempt such an application?

There are ways to proceed which limit the risk to all participants.
