Sounds good.

I don't think this needs to be a separate list. Tagging the appropriate
posts should be enough for those who really want to filter them out.
Does anyone want to be part of a DevMUD discussion and _not_ see the
evidence of progress?

I don't think a week delay would hurt much. As a temporary (permanent?)
measure I'll take code in email and do nightly integrations. Not that
much code should be written before a module protocol.

I'd appreciate using Kanga.Nu as a host for the mailing list, and a code
mirror. Unless CVS trees distribute nicely, I have a small preference for
the primary repository being frost.slimy.com.

Unless someone else wants to do this (any other volunteers?), this looks
to be me. There's plenty of room for things like a VM lead if people want
to do this sort of thing without running the whole project.
