+{{>toc}}
* 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

bq. <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> 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

+bq. <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

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 buddy press 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 on 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

+bq. <Dokujisan> for my other project I'm involved with, Getty was showing me a way to have #nexuiz on multiple networks and have them all connect to each other through a bot
<Dokujisan> so we would have our own IRC network
<Dokujisan> and #battlecube channels on quakenet and other networks and they would all echo to/from our network
<Dokujisan> there would be a bot that echos what is typed
<Dokujisan> between the various networks

<FruitieX> so to sum it all up: current physicsNoQWBunny.cfg + sv_airaccel_sideways_friction -1 + sv_maxspeed 320 + sv_maxairspeed 320
<FruitieX> tZork: that is a slightly different physics config that div0 has been working on
<FruitieX> Dokujisan: more physics stuff to note that's really fun: sv_doublejump 1, sv_jump_speedcap_max 1, sv_jumpspeedcap_max_disable_on_ramps 1

<tZork> i managed to export animated smd's from blender yesterday
<tZork> and turn to dpm
<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.

+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
<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)

-h1. BULLET POINTS

-2. some sort of comittee setup underneath the leadership to make "most" decisions for the game.
-3. Use of a central user auth system that protects privacy but also allows for extra features like stats
