Hey Sir Cmpwn, this is definitely a useful (and perhaps necessary?) project for a massive gaming phenomenon. Thanks for instigating it.

If you had an army of 100 developers, what tasks would you set them to do to improve TrueCraft?

I would split them up on the following tasks:

- Building a client with OpenGL

- Implementing world logic (grass growth, door logic, etc)

- Improving terrain generation

It'd be really hard to take on 100 contributors at once, though. In my open source projects, I need time to figure out how each contributor writes code and what they like to work on so I can leverage them appropriately.

I'm eligible for contribution, since I've never looked at decompiled Minecraft code. I haven't touched C# in over ten years, though, so that might be something of an impediment.

Your contributions would definitely be welcome. Head on over the the IRC channel to hang out and we can find you something to work on.
