There is lots of code. The wiki and the github contain all sorts of great ideas.

Are there artifacts at the end level up? Is there an ontology? Software to build an ontology from reading books?

Community AGI is a superb idea.

Not sure I understand the question/statement.

oepncog has no predefined ontology. We have, in the past, imported several different ontologies from outside sources.  We have source for doing this scattered here and there, not sure where. This kind of import is fairly useless, if you have no way of doing something with that data, e.g. reasoning about it, or somehow applying that ontology to  some data processing pipeline.  This has been done for some proprietary projects, and more are in the works.

I have vague daydreams for auto-learning ontology from natural language; I think I know how to do it, but am multiple steps removed from being able to automate this.  If (when) I do, it will work for any natural language, and I have vague ideas that it would work for non-language domains (sensory/visual, biology, financials, etc.) but my speculative vision is hard to share.

My point is, Opencog is a set of functionality that one can use to build higher level functionality. I am hoping Opencog will begin to accumulating higher level solutions/functions.

Yes, me too.  I am accumulating some large datasets for language, and plan to publish those when they become generically interesting to a broader audience.

There are some other datasets but they're proprietary.  There are some datasets whose status I'm just not clear about.  They're being built but I don't know if they will be open.

The language stuff should have some broader general-appeal results maybe as soon as a few months. Hard to say.  But that would just be an early taste, a huge amount of work remains.
