Tim: If you're going to be putting up the infrastructure for a MMP, I wonder if it would be too much to ask that Shrapnel run a dedicated Dom2 server. The community currently has access to the server run by St. Esben, but the demand for server time is greater than the supply. I've no clue whether you could justify the expense, but I thought I'd ask anyway
Shrapnel has a number of games which could use a good PbEM game site. Dominions 2 and Space Empires IV are probably the 2 biggest crowds (both excellent games and for many of the same reasons if you want to check them out).

Thats why Ive been pushing for some of us to come together and create a generic web structure that can easily support adding different games.

Ive searched and searched, and Im very surprised that there doesnt seem to be one. The closest I could come up with as a ready-made package was one of the BBS packages which would amount to basically being a web-forum allowing uploads.

I would like to see one written as SysAdmin-upward (making best use of having the whole machine to itself), rather than WebMaster-downward (which is best for a package you might add to a machine as a user). I have a dedicated server I can use for it.
