Sign me up for that section. I think a split between 'game projects' and
'game developers' might be nice, to seperate the big commercial companies
from the you-me-us hackers that make cool games.

Let's first read the existing press releases and interviews so we can be a
little original. And try to stay on the development side... which will be
hard since I have seen bits of CivIII.

Weekends are tough for me at the moment. But I definitely agree with this
and will gladly do the game projects part.

No source code (yet). I have some communication with the author though (a
15-yr old Israelic guy) and will try to convince him the project has no
value being closed-source, since Westwood will sooner or later (perhaps
through Loki?) port to Linux anyway.
