The future of PBW - a call to arms

Do we think that a bunch of threads here in the Shrapnel forum is the best place for this? I was thinking one sticky thread here to keep the public aware of what's going on, and a link to another forum somewhere where we can organize things more to our liking. Plus we probably need some method of uploading files, which we don't have here. I am fairly confident Fyron would be happy to give us room on his site for a forum. Depending on how we go about it we may need a dedicated site though with whatever software controls the check out of the code in progress. I am pretty sure that would be easily gotten somewhere, but not here.

Geo is right that a design or programming team is going to need some facilities that these forums don't provide. On the other hand, I would like to think that the team can hold discussions in public. I think there's certain, welcome, level of accountability implicit in the idea that the potential Users of the system can follow what the developers are doing. And some of them may be interested, but unable to take part. Why split off into a private forum?

Everyone who plays SEIV has a stake in this process. Certainly we'll need to ask people to stay on-topic in certain forums, but why exlude anyone?

Just a thought.
