Oh, Sorry about that, I answered the Nexu message privately to him for I
didn't want to flood it here (thinking that wouldn't be of much interest of
the Geany developpers)

But there it goes. Its not much, I tell you.

I have been thinking a lot about creating a MMORPG server for the past
months, and then started designing an outline for it. So far it is in early
stages, for I basically have no code, only a lot of design alternatives,
brainstorms and notes on my note book (You know, that thing with lots of
pages made of dead trees ? I still use them).

Basically today it is in a shape that I can start coding. Unfortunately I
believe it is only me who can start working on it right now because the
biggest part of the project is in my maniac head (I spend too much time in
commute everyday, so I tend to think a lot about the project). And then, I
have not much time to program at home with college and work and everything,
so it is developping veeeeery slowly.

So there is no "real" project yet, and the project isn't going to become
anything useful anytime soon (since after having the server I would still
need to gather a group to help developping a client out of it). But my plan
is to develop a server of a small community (much like the guys at
Eternal-lands have right now) and evolve it with the time.

If anyone is interested in the project I can give more details about ideas
and architecture of the system and we can discuss them. I would love to have
someone at least to listen to some of my ideas and tell me whenever I am
just being too mad ;)

Regards,
Alexandre Moreira.

PS: While I have a sourceforge account for the project (namely,
Nutshell.sf.net) I don't have anything there yet.

PPS: The project is being developped in C++, and it took me quite some time
in modelling since I am using it for learning OO.
