Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave G" data-source="post: 27209" data-attributes="member: 17">Grrr... I typed this really long and eloquent post detailing the issues at hand and how I plan to try and tackle them, and my computer locked up without my hitting send...So here's a less eloquent condensed version.I would like this project to be a community project above all else, and as such I think it behooves us to try and keep this as an open content document.  Bearing this in mind, that doesn't mean we use everything submitted, there will still be an evaluation process that will decide if the proposal fits with our mission.  The Yahoo group will be a great companion to the work that goes on through this thread and subsequent incarnations of this thread.  If for no other reason than the file storage and e-mail list to communicate with other project partners.  However, I would like to keep the discussion open for the community to read and comment upon, so we keep our fingers on the pulse of those whom this project is for.I think we have gotten too far afield in our discussion of publication.  I jumped on the bandwagon saying "Yeah, that'd be cool!" but the fact is we are worried way too much about this way too early in the game.  Personally I would like to see this as a free document, but if any money is made, that it go directly to EN World!To keep my end up as an administrator of sorts, I am going to try and strike up some conversations with other community projects of a similar nature, as well as some of the d20 publishers.  Who better to help me keep my head about the business ends of things than those who do it... I'd be willing to bet some of them would be willing  to at least give us some advice.We need to build the foundation of this Dwarven Stronghold before we start picking trim color...  The suggestions an conversations that have come up so far are great, and I want to encourage you to keep discussion going...  In my opinion our priorities at this moment are: Government, Clans, religions and guilds...  I think these areas will cover the political geography of the place so we can then begin tailoring our physical geography and begin filling in the blanks.Would anyone be opposed to the formation of small groups so that we could have a military section or a guild section, to help us stay focused and on task...This is going to be a great project if we all keep our patience (myself included) and stay on task until we are done.  Please let me know what you think, either in this thread or via e-mail at <a href="mailto:billybeanbag@yahoo.com">billybeanbag@yahoo.com</a></blockquote>
