CC: Circle MUD Developers

I'm writing you on behalf of myself and some like minded people from the CWG and TBA communities. CWG (Circle w/ goodies!) is an ongoing project based on CircleMUD 3.1, which has been in ongoing development for over 2.5 years. There is a religiously released update at the end of every month during that time. We have formed a partnership with TBA (The Builder's Academy) and release TBA content bundled with CWG. Personally, I have been working with CircleMUD since 1994.
We love CircleMUD. Many of us have been on the scene for a number of years. We love the package because of it's clean simplicity. The CWG project was created to offer an incorporated feature set. Things that seem to be commonly added by startup MUDs.
A lot of us are looking for some feedback about the future direction of CircleMUD. We are feeling in the dark about what may hold. Many of us are more than willing to help in any possible ways. From one end to the other there are people of skill in the community who are looking to help in our own ways.
We humbly request a dialog with the development team about the future direction of features, timetables, and offer our services in all aspects of helping the package we all love so dearly.
I would also like this thread to be cross posted to the CircleMUD mailing list as deemed appropriate.
Thank you.

Well as you probably know, I've basically been "retired" from
CircleMUD for about 10 years. THe other folks you've cc:d above
offered to take over development, but I think they're mostly
quasi-retired at this point too (since I haven't heard from them much
recently, anyway).
Are you proposing joining as the core development team? I'd expect that
would be fine with everyone involved.

ndeed, and I'm very shocked (and honored) that I got a reply from you at all 
I would really like to talk with the current development staff about the future direction, transition teams if needed, or whatever.
As I said, there are many of us in the CWG and TBA communities who would love to help keep this moving forward.
As for the offer to join the core development team, well...let's just say that it would warm my heart to no end

Well, none of the other developers have even responded, so they might
be completely MIA. If you guys are interested in taking over as the
maintainers I doubt you will get any objection.
Do you have pointers to your existing resources etc so I can take a
look at some of the work you've been doing?

Great to hear. TBA is ready to help out wherever we can.

So this place is pretty much the 'home' of CircleMUD then?
I like the Developers Resource but I don't think it has been updated in a year or so... |

Well, not officially. However, it is one of the few active CircleMUD based projects out there!

Why? We have rasputin ? Its internal structure is way different then a normal circle base. U could call it circle 4. I know we have upgrades to oasis coming out soon, they are in testing as we speak.

I think CWG Buddha should still be used as the next release of CircleMUD. There are enough branches of codebases now that I'd like to use the CircleMUD brand name for both CWG and TBA. Of course since the current developers aren't talking the process has stalled. I'll pick it up again after I get back if no one else does before then.

Seems to me that Rasputin may even go far enough to be considered a
different beast all together. Just as Diku led to Circle, has not Circle led
to Rasputin?
While I can see Buddha and Suntzu as direct extensions of Circle (much
closer to a Circle 4), the elements incorporated into Rasputin seem, to
me, to be more of a formation of a new branch of circle as opposed to an
extension of the existing one. |

Due in part to my own major change in life from when this was originally drafted and now, I'm pretty much willing to just let Circle stagnate on it's own. They've been doing a good job of that. CWG was created in pretty much direct response to that stagnation.
However, because of my own lack of time to put into CWG I'd hate to become the new source of stagnation for Circle. CWG will continue on, and as you say, likely evolve directly into it's own thing entirely.

Considering that circlemud is the second most popular listing on TMC, it would be great to see the "next" version being worked on.
Not sure how Rasputin or Buddha or Suntzu fits into this requirement, but I was hoping there would be some discussions/development occuring.
Heck, if one of the versions is decided as the next official circlemud version, I'd boot one copy up and start work on it too just to provide feedback. |

My opinion is just like diku evolved into other types of muds, so does circlemud. Why cant we just say cwg evolved from circlemud, and leave it be. I mean look what happend to MERC, it evolved into rom, smaug, and others.
I dont meant to say circlemud is dead, but i think we have pushed cwg way past circlemud now. I think CWG should be its own deriative, and leave it be.
Post it as the next evolution of circlemud on sites and thats that.

I support the concept of unique identification...
in all honesty, this really was where it was going all along when Ziz first released a cwg archive!
besides, you people commited to this project will work harder knowing it's rather more personal this way...
good luck and I'll be along for the ride until we find something better to do
hell, I might even code something one friggin day... eek

As promised I have brought this up again on the CircleMUD mailing list and received the same expected response as last time; no response. I'll give it a few more days and see what happens. Unfortunately I have been kicked off the CircleMUD list (supposedly a problem with my email, but this would be the first with GoDaddy) so I can no longer view or post to the list. I have already re-subscribed... hopefully more to follow.

I'm back on the CircleMUD mailing list, this is my 3rd or 4th time being booted from it very touchy. I am going to follow this through to the end so I could use everyones help by voicing their support. Just be ready for the old fogeys to screech back "CWG is the devil" every time you mention it. I am just interested in getting "a developer" to say development should continue at this point.
