[Freeciv] Re: RTS version of Freeciv; need to change my email address

["C Ratchet" <zratchet@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are currently working on getting more members (majorly needed!) We have 
10 members currently but most seem to be busy, so that is why I asked if 
anyone would be interested in helping. Hopefully we can get at least an 
alpha out by August, and have a more complete version by end of year. Our 
main needs are Java and XML people, and also I'm thinking of redoing the 
server in either Java, PHP or Perl (with collaboration with other members, 
I'm currently mainly maintainer, project manager, and a 
graphic/documentation person and know a little VB, HTML and Java/Javascript) 
We also need graphic designers, and 3D people once we get what 3D engine to 
use figured out - probably Crystal Space, Genesis 3D, QuakeForge, or 
Opale.Soya. Hopefully we'll have ramped up enough with getting more people 
to have a basic alpha by August, but probably nothing more than that.

Thanks
Ratchet
