Alternatively, someone could write a new software with those parts of functionality that contribute to LW success. The most important part is the karma mechanism; all other parts are just "nice to have" and can be added later. You need the karma mechanism... and a good community with rational moderator.

So if the LW source code seems too difficult for some people, creating a new code (possibly in a new programming language) remains an option.
