really? i've never written anything with an embedded scripting language. 
that's pretty cool :)

good point, but it's not really a port so freeciv-java probably wouldn't be 
appropriate. maybe freeciv2-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx.

this is a good question for the list. i'd like to maintain the idea that all 
this conversation is for the next generation of freeciv, not a separate 
project like object freeciv or freeciv java. the creation of a new mailing 
list will create a divide between people interested in v2 and the maintenace 
of v1. v2 might lose invaluable input from longtime users who aren't 
necessarily interested in developing the new system, but still want to 
comment on some ideas that are being tossed around. so, here's the question 
for the list:

should we ask the maintainers to create new mailing lists for freeciv2 
discussions or keep them here in the original freecive list.

i vote to keep them here for the reason of continuity and community.
