Scott,

OpenABM intially was conceived of as an exchange for scientists and students involved in agent-based modeling for complex systems research. However, this technology is so new that the line between serious "hobbyist" and academic "experimenting" with ABM is very fine...and fuzzy. I took a peek at the Grey Thumb organization and your Mars Sim site. I am happy to have contributions from people like you are serious about advancing the study of social-ecological systems through agent-based/individual-based simulation. Our site is still very young and developing. Please don't hesitate to participate in the forums.
