The plan has been to work to have models for all main areas sketched out by 5/31/99. We also want to have specifics for at least some areas by then also so starting coding on them in early June is possible.

We have or will soon have at least one proposal for all the main game elements (poss exception, the interface, since we need to see the other design pieces first.) If you don't like one of the designs and/or want to post an alternative you need to do so soon. To allow for discussion of any different proposed design models any proposals should be in by 5/22/99.

We need some time to refine and "dock" the different design pieces together. The week at the end of May is the time to do that. Of course for some items It will take longer than that, but we need to keep to some kind of rough schedule or we're never going to get anywhere.

Thanks,
Mark
