I am curious, what sort of MUD system is this designed around? As
I come from an LP background, specifically, hanging out on CDLIB
these days, I found that, while top level descriptive, some of what you
described definitely is abnormal to LP mud.
The other part that I'm curious about is, is this a help file for coding
wizards, or is this a descriptive plan of what you are trying to
accomplish? When you ask for design docs, are you talking about
general "How to build a mud" docs, or help docs pertaining to
various muds/codebases?
It think one thing that could be an interesting project would be to
build a HOWTO at a general level for MUDs, although I'm sure that
this would tend to be codebase specific. Assuming that, a HOWTO
that would help beginning mud admins select a codebase would
probably be appropriate, and also interesting to design. Is there
significant value to doing this?
