I've looked at the forum here and some of the links...
My background, which colors my viewpoint -- 20+ yrs in software design and, yes, even some actual programming -- accordingly my questions are directed at what I see in that field.. or dont see.
Overall: this looks like a difficult project to accomplish for 2 reasons: Scope of the project, and dispersal of the programmers.
I see:
ideas, discussion, a program mission statement, lots of technical detail (in some areas), obviously some start on programming.
What I do not see:
A design document. Maybe one exists and it's not public. That'd be ok.
You need to make a final decision on where the code will run, where the data will be kept, what form the data will be stored in, interface elements between modules.
btw: how many modules are in the design?
I was involved in a similar project [not civ, but a space game], 12 yrs ago on CIS. It died for lack of coordination and planning prior to start of actual coding.
I'd be interested in participating. If you have a design already, good. Where is it, or who has it? If not, LETS GET ONE -- else you're on a path to wasting a lot of time and effort in the next few months.
