Is anyone familiar enough with this game to write up a quick TLDR? I can tell that it's an MMO in progress, and that it's space-based, and I'm guessing from the name that you probably build autonomous self-replicating probes... but that's as far as I got from skimming the newsletters.

Author here. You're right on most counts, except that you were supposed to fight the Von Neumann probes, not build them.
The homepage on the project's website mentions some other things that were goals: http://hannobraun.de/vndf/home/
For anyone wanting more detailed information, the design docs may be a good start (as baking already said in the sibling comment): https://github.com/hannobraun/vndf/blob/master/docs/game-des...
The newsletter archive also has a lot of information, especially the early newsletters: http://hannobraun.de/vndf/news/

I'm still reading the docs but this seems like a useful place to start: https://github.com/hannobraun/vndf/blob/master/docs/game-des...
