I have just started discussing with another DG imp about starting a
bazaar style CircleMUD project. The primary goal i was interested in
was coverting it to C++ (much more object oriented than DG was). After
that, adding core features expected of current MUDs (OLC, events, etc)
and improving the flexibility.
For those unfamiliar with the bazaar development style, it is fairly
open development. A few developers accepting changes from a the
community of users, with frequent snapshots of the code (or direct
read-only access) between the stable releases. See
http://sagan.earthspace.net/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/ for details.
We haven't decided on anything yet, but there is some interest there.
