Some suggestions from the folks at sparked:

[Bernie M.] Is it possible for you to post the code somewhere for others to look at? Assuming it is going to be open source software, you could post it someplace like github.com and people could check it out, work on parts of it, and check it back in. Do you know how to do any of that?

To which I said, “We’re thinking this may not be something for Sparked as it will involve more stats and math, and not just java.” And

[Archimedes T.] I think you both have the right idea. Although math and stats would help a lot especially in the “business” aspect. Sharing the existing codebase and improving it would help in the “delivery” aspect.

By sharing the codebase and hopefully improving on it, you can provide a place where people who know the stats and math can have their ideas implemented more easily.

It is the same with any properly run application development shop, the “business” part is translated into the code. However, if the code base is not the best it can be, it would make things more difficult to note just implement, but to test and perform performance analysis.
