I don't understand the distinction you're drawing...

Joel's AA module was newly coded not ported ... and the forward chainer Joel
built combined ported code with new code ... and both of these **actually do
stuff**.  If you're curious, Joel can give you instructions as to how to run
his Hopfield Net emulator (using AA) and his forward chainer.  I have seen
them operate.  They produce meaningful output.

Also, the PetBrain code will also do stuff once fully ported into OpenCog:
it will allow OpenCog to control virtual dogs in a virtual world.  It
doesn't just need to compile, it needs to actually function, just like
Linas's code...
