As things seem to go rather bad now and I fear that the project is soon at the edge of collapsing, I've decided to act and try to save us from a total disaster.
As for the website and forums, there's no trouble at all as things are just fine.
The opening has now been postponed to next week, but the day and times will be set as soon as I get the responses. So nothing to worry about it.
Then we have the administrative issues. I have really no idea what's going on with Blake and where he's now. AFAIK he should be at home, but no confirmed details about that either. I will try to force him to take action, but I really can't promise that he's going to return.
As for me, I'm trying to do the best I can, despite it's getting harder now. If Blake is not seen after one month, we need to seriously think over again about what to do.
The work related to graphics has now also suffered a bad hit. Aaglo has confirmed that he's leaving the team now as he's not capable of producing more advanced 3D graphics and he's also lacking time (due to work) to work on the project. I have agreed about that and it's clear now. Frozzy is simply too busy now with his studies and all other activities, so he has to cut down somewhere. He's very sad for this, but nothing can be done. The issue with him has also been settled. Killingjoker has apparently lost his interest too as no response has been received. I.e. we currently have only one person working with graphics. Targon, as you seem to know how the graphics work should be co-ordinated, I set you as the new Graphics Manager and hope that you can try to lead the graphics work. Please let me know what special requirements you want to set for new Graphics Artist reqcruits on SourceForge as I'll announce ASAP on SourceForge that we are looking for people interested about making graphics.
The sound section is still dead as before, because our old Sound Manager disappeared ages ago and there doesn't seem to be any real hurry with this.
As for the coding, we seem to have most coders present, which of course great, compared to the rest of this misery. As Blake isn't now capable of handling this work, I've decided that I either appoint a Senior Code Writer that handles the coding while he's absent or then the code writing "expert" group co-ordinates the work together by discussing how to arrange the work and agree about the details. I hope that you could come up with a solution. I will not look around for more coders now as there's no lack of ones now. I would suggest that Vultur, Kurilka or Vovansim would lead the work for now, but that means you have to remain as active as before.
Writing and documentation is currently aside, except for GOD which won't be the ultimate answer to all questions. So nothing to comment about this now. I've already agreed with DBTS about "some" material for the website.
Helpmates, what would you be capable of doing right now? I know that Ace is at least keen to work, but is anyone into 3D graphics? However there's not much else now, unless you have something to propose.
I'll try to keep things running, but I need effort and iniatives from all coders. If you want to poll something, feel free to do so.
I'm open for almost all solutions now as I try to make things flexible for co-ordinating the coding.
Awaiting for better times...
