Current Plans

The current goal is to define the kind of functionality we would like
our Kit to support.  There are two parts to that process.  For one
thing, I encourage people to read the GameList I have started and add
and describe games with interesting or unusual features.

Second, I intend to write a series of essays covering the different
issues we need to address.  I think this is a good way to get started,
keep our focus, and generate useful discussion.  Feel free to disagree
with any and all the things I say - but be prepared to present
constructive alternatives.

The intended list of topics are:

- War Servers and Client States

>> The current discussion is focusing on the representation
>> and parametrization of space

- MODEL Soldiers, VIEW to a Kill, and The CONTROLLER 

- Weapons, Targets, and Actions

- Views, Subviews, TankViews, and PlaneViews

- Command/Control and The Inspector General

As a side note:  for clarity, make sure your subject line is obviously
militaristic in nature, so people on lots of mailing lists can
identify the source.  Bad puns are optional.
