Open Development

[Herkus]

Sounds interesting, as far as I know no one has tried anything similar. Hopefully I will learn something in the process.

Besides, this step doesn't mean we're dropping Anno Domini.
In fact, if anybody likes to work on content for AD, you're very welcome to open a thread with propositions in this forum. Right now, I'm concentrating on II but I'll open some similar threads for AD if there's sufficient interest.

If you're going to have an open forum for development, may I also suggest using a public version control system? I've set up a Subversion server for Europa Barbarorum, if you'd want I could set up one for AD/II as well. As a suggestion, you could have different access levels for core members, trusted people and general public (last one probably only read access).

You'd need some sort of server for it though which is always on and does not have any arbitrary limit of total traffic though, I'm not sure what your status is on that. I could set it up on my own computer so you could test it out but my connection drops out intermittently and is therefore pretty unsuitable.

Yeah in general SVS would be great, I don't have a website though.

Hmm I'll ask General Sun if he could host it.

Perhaps Sourceforge is a valid option?

Do they host mods? I thought they're only for primary software.
I'll give it a look

They do host mods. At least I saw one when briefly checking their list of games projects.
