Do not be so quick to judge Talad, he's given us an opportunity, it's up to us to take it and make it our own.
Illysia: Thank you for your well wishing. Don't be discouraged because your attempt did not fully work out. Have faith that, in the end, the spirit of our community will carry the future projects that the SkunkWorks will launch into visible changes within the game.
taphan: Do not speak death into something without giving its a fair chance to prove itself. Channel you energy in a positive way and maybe, just maybe, things will start happening that not even I expect.
To answer your questions... for the moment I am responsible for who becomes members. Once I have a reliable base team running, then everyone on the team may give their feelings on each application.
The SkunkWorks will not be working under the ABC license, we're not licensing our ideas. We're going for a completely open and transparent approach, and everything that we do will be displayed for everyone to view and comment on. The work that comes out of the dev team as a result of our work, however, will still be put under the ABC license.
Thank you for the applications I have received so far, please don't hesitate if you feel this is something you want to do.
As a final thought... remember that the difference between a stumbling block and a stepping is stone is how you use it.
