What about an ongoing paper? Why couldn't someone publish a SGF paper that shows where they are with solving some problem and where they plan to go and then, using trivially easy technology, update the paper with revised/corrected code, elaborated graphics, etc. daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or at the next SGF? I could almost swear that some SAS folks are already doing what I am suggesting but leaving out the daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly updates.
