My impression of OpenWorm was that it was not focused on WBE. It tried to be a more general-purpose platform for biological studies. It attracted more attention than a pure WBE project would, by raising vague hopes of also being relevant to goals such as studying Alzheimer’s.
My guess is that the breadth of their goals led them to become overwhelmed by complexity.
