Ben's publishing several books (well, he's already published several, but he's publishing the already written "Building Better Minds" early 2012 and a pop sci version shortly there after which are more current regarding OpenCog). I'll be writing a "practical" guide to OpenCog once we reach our 1.0 release at the end of 2012.

Ben actually does quite a lot of writing, theorizing and conferences. Whereas myself and a number of others are more concerned with the software development side of things.

We also have a wiki: http://wiki.opencog.org

What new insights are there?

Well new is relative... so without any familiarity of your knowledge on OpenCog I can't comment.

New insights relative to the current state of academia. Many of us here are up-to-date with the relevant areas (or trying to be). I'm not sure what my knowledge of OpenCog has to do with anything, as I was asking for the benefit of all onlookers too.
