There is still a lot to do in Freecell Solver, and I believe that with my guidance, it can be suitable as a project for which one can get academic credit. If you are an Academic professor, who wishes to structure an academic project around working on Freecell Solver, or you are a student who wishes to get credit for this, then drop me a note, and I'll let you know how I can help in guiding you or your students through this. Freecell Solver is also suitable for an industry pro-bono project like the Google Summer of Code.
I believe working on Freecell Solver, would be better than developing some Game AI program from scratch, because one contributes to an already successful project, and can be certain his contributions will be popular and appreciated. This is while a from-scratch project usually has very little influence on the software scene, eventually.
