I came across dungeonmaker when I was doing something else on the
sourceforge ftp site, and I am intrigued. I have not yet had time
to try out the software, but it sounds potentially extremely useful.

I am a server coder and game effort coordinator for the WorldForge
project, a project to create an engine for building Massively
Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. The application of
DungeonMaker in our system is obvious I am sure.

If you are interested in community feedback, try dropping in
on irc.worldforge.org in channels #forge and #lounge where many 
of the WorldForge developers hang out.

I look forward to trying out the software as soon as I get the opportunity.
