Quick summary from an insider. I came up with the idea, inspired by sequences in Go which were pretty predictable. I might have even come up with the Ifmove name. 

The main reason it went was the same as usual. I think no one programmed it. I think up ideas and spew them forth, but I have no programming skill. Someone's got to plug it in. 

A side reason it, and other things, didn't get done is because sometimes there's too much discussion. It's good to talk things through and work out how an idea works, but too many thoughts and ideas lead to conflicts and complications. Conflicts and complications discourage the few programmers we have, I think.

So if Doug wants to hop on this and program, maybe Richard still has the help file and what was done before. If not, I think he's smart enough to come up with something and implement it.
