+- 3-6 leaders at the top
+- board or committee of community members who act as liaisons between developers, players, leaders and other communities to help make sure the most important information is getting to the leaders
+- “big” decisions (like whole new gameplay balance) should be approved by ALL leaders, who stand personally for the community
+- nobody will be able AT ALL to sell/relicense the project :P

+<div0> as for organization, I suggest:
<div0> - three "leaders" who should come from different backgrounds
<div0> - otherwise, freedom should reign among the community
<div0> - "big" decisions (like whole new gameplay balance) should be approved by ALL leaders, who stand personally for the community
<div0> but regarding game relevant decisions, you [dokujisan] probably will represent the competitive side, which is good, as that NEEDS to be represented
<div0> and with interest groups, I mean "from the players"
<div0> why do you play Nexuiz?
-<Dokujisan> it's my replacement for martial arts heh
-<Dokujisan> I used to train in martial arts a lot. I don't as much and nexuiz sorta took that spot.
-<div0> I mostly play for fun, and therefore like development of new stuff and experimenting... others play competitively, which of course prefers sticking to the roots

+<div0> I mostly play for fun, and therefore like development of new stuff and experimenting… others play competitively, which of course prefers sticking to the roots
<div0> (and requires stability in the "core game")
<div0> also, as a free project, leadership should not be exerted by force :P
<div0> if someone wants a feature, and the leaders are against it, one should think about a way to get it in in a varied but better fashion
-<div0> code wise, I'd go so far - if the code is harmless (e.g. if it can be turned off), and mostly bug free, it can go in - even if I don't like what it brings
-<div0> art wise it's a bit more difficult, as there can be many opinions what is good and what is not
-<div0> there, I'd only like to avoid bad taste (like, pr0n, or TOO strong displays of violence - after all, the game is meant to be PLAYed, and is not a virtual torture chamber)

<div0> of course, the competitive players ALSO do not want overly strong violence, as it blocks the view :P

+Code Clean-up
+=============
-h1. Code Clean-up
+ <div0> but basically, the goal should NOT be stripping the game to "what I like"
+ <div0> and also NOT reimplementing it
+ <div0> but JUST reorganizing the code
+ <div0> not silently removing stuff
+ <div0> what NEEDS cleanup, is teamplay.qc, player death handling, player spawn handling, player think
+ <div0> anyway, as for rerwrite… shpuld be no goal for next release

-* Hotgrounds (needs some modelled cave-love)
-* killall_organic (with gameplay fixes or some parts totally redone)
-* lavaflag? (makeover)
-* reslimed (replace textures, fix movement to not get stuck on things)
-* runningman (makeover)
-* silvercity_reloaded (fix FPS?)
-* Stonecastle?
-* stormkeep2
-* strength (gameplay adjustments and a makeover)
-* treasure_island? (with gameplay fixes)
-* Vociferous? (I'd happily finish the map asap)
-* Fortress resurrection? (needs finishing of lighting up)
-* cbctf1? (already under WIP)
-
-h1. Website
-
-We're going to be incorporating features from all of the community sites into a proper "core" site.
-
-Using WordPress MU as the main site, We can use MyBB as a forum system and bridge it to WordPress. Alternatively we can look into use BuddyPress and dropping a forum system.
-
-* News
-* Tournament system (likely need to be homegrown)
-* Clan management (likely need to be homegrown, maybe integrate with MU or BuddyPress somehow)
-* Proper WIKI (instead of OUNS) -- is the dev wiki good enough or do we want a user based one as well?
-* Pic hosting like pics.nexuizninja.com -- can be integrated into WordPress with nextgen gallery + nextgen public upload, I think we can fork this plugin to do more, i.e. video gallery, and more as well. Will need to dedicate resources to this
-* Realtime server list (should be easy to make a plugin for)
-* Mumble interface (will need to talk to dokujisan about details on this but should be easy enough to make a plugin for)
-* cvar/cmd list search
-* keyboard binds

-<Dokujisan> and #battlecube channels on quakenet and other networks and they would all echo to/from our network

-<tZork> Dokujisan: yes the artist toolchain of darkpalces is bad
-<Dokujisan> tZork: perhaps we need to generate some documentation on "what we know" about player model technical details
-<Spaceman> I second that idea
-<tZork> but with the blender smd thing working, its way more likely ppl can do open models.

-Before, when we did bootcamp, we had an IRC server with available trainers idling and a webchat interface for players to request a trainer.
-div0 suggested that we can build this interaction into the game and the server screen can have allow players to "sign up" for a trainer on a bootcamp server

-h1. Style Direction
-
-bq. <}-z-{> regarding artwork, I think we should gather a list of wants/needs/likes/dislikes
-<}-z-{> to give other artists direction when they are looking to contribute
+Style Direction
+===============
-bq. <Oblivion> i woudl like to put forward a suggestion of basing nexuiz' art on treating it as if it was a galactic sport.
-think Rollerball. With enough emphasis given on balance (no hard to see or hard to hit models) and bright colors
-(that can be adjusted per clan), possibly adding another color mask in addition to the shirt/pants divide?
-<Oblivion> for things like stripes or markings. so that even in team based games where colors are mandated
-(to be blue/red), the players will still have an option of being identifiable as distinct from his teammates
-<Oblivion> that way you will know who is who within the team
-<Oblivion> you can for example have two players with the same player model both on blue team, but you can tell
-one from the other because the first has a green diagonal stripe while the other has yellow, etc.
-<Oblivion> nothing that would confuse opposing teams of course
-<Oblivion> giving players a degree of control over how they look like in a standardized way can encourage clan building
-<Oblivion> also a bit more cyberpunk direction rather than aliens (which was never implemented properly). that
-means humans and bots, but all humanoid and of the same sizes. and a bit less serious. (i'm actually planning a
-player model with armor that deliberately looks like bunny ears)
