Not a member, so responding to 'Unsticking Chess' here.  Regarding:

 'doing all of the above should likely buy chess another 1000 years'

In my opinion, not even close.  As soon as someone designs a computer
smart enough to improve itself, processing power explodes exponentially. 
The future is going to be way, way different than anything we can imagine
using the current paradigm.
-----------------------------------------------------
This is why I was starting a discussion on what that paradigm can be.  I
personally believe that the open-source method would lend well towards
this, via community consensus.  This could start with the chess variant
crowd, and them coordinating. I am offer people a chance to discuss the
IAGO Chess System as a starting point, from the drops and gating, to the
classification system, to the attempt to get Capablanca pieces onto an 8x8
board.  This could perhaps lead to a new paradigm. 

I would rather this be an opening for a discussion, rather than saying it
is merely beyond what we can imagine, so why bother.

Finally, I would say that all this is for more than just 'oh it lies beyond the computer'.  It is for the purpose of serving the fullness of the chess community.
