Fortunately you already have such a place :). Look around. We've got FUSS teams out the wazoo, tba folk lurking, and clearly the ROMulans ;)
Yep. There's a folder above this one that contains all the separate dirivs. If you have an idea that might be of interest to all, you could put a note with a link there. (And still use the specific folder for the main thread, of course.)
I am quite interested in helping with this project. I think its a great idea to try and focus on another codebase such as ROM the way tbaMUD is doing with their's. So what is the plan on how to pull this off actually however? I know tbaMUD uses a CVS repository to help develop code changes. And the builders go online to their building academy to create the world.
Also, they have seperate forums for the discussion and development of it. aka bug fixes, code changes, annoucements, scripts, etc. Is there a forum to do such a thing for this project?

Do you guys feel a pressing need for a separate board from the get-go? If you think it would be helpful then by all means go for it, I'm just wondering if it makes sense at this point to split the community. Maybe you could convince the Friendly Forum Staff here to give you guys a section or something instead. :wink:

Consolidation before expansion, I can't say it enough. PS: I'll help! =)
Now that you mention it, keeping the discussion here would be a step towards the sharing mentioned earlier. If the idea is to push ROM towards the level of SmaugFUSS and tbaMUD, it can't hurt to have those people looking over our shoulders.

I totally agree! Come up with a name and I'll start a new section under ROM, and add a new category to the code repository. Remember, the ROM license forbids using "ROM" in the name of a derivative, so come up with something catchy :). A few things I came up with are Waterfalls of MUD (WoM, phonetically sounds like ROM :P) and the other was MorMUD (Mor is ROM backwards, I know, clever :P) I'll be online on the MUD from about 2pm PST till I go to bed, so you can talk to me then or just post here.
When I toyed with the idea a couple of years back about fixing up Rom, I attached the name "FURS" - Fixed Up Rom Source - to the project. It never got past being named though.
