The KURATOR is a free software application designed as a tool for curating source code which is in early stages of technical development. It offers one way of developing a model of curating that is open source and open for collective development.
There is an analogy between the use of the term 'programming' here - both in the curatorial work of programming events (traditionally in a museum or exhibition but also clearly in organising something like an event/conference/structure) and in programming of the technical system that facilitates the work.
It might be useful to think about the work of curator as analogous to the work of programmer: from artist-programmer or software artist to curator-programmer or software curator. Indeed curating source code is standard practice in this field of software production and so is a collective production process involving various agencies including a programmer and a curator.
