Just curious...does anyone know if many Windows users have shown interest in Planeshift or not?  (I\'m guessing its probably no...but it never hurts to ask ;)  )

I wasnt really expecting there to be a formal release date, but the info on how applications are being dealt with currently should go on the website.

Cheers,

Is there a planned CB release date?  I\'m sure that applicants would want to know more about that.  Also, it might be a good idea to put this info on the website so that everyone is aware of how things currently stand.

Cheers,

On a sidenote, one person who responded to my thread said something somewhat worrying:

Quote:

I\'ve been following the development of Planshift for about a year now. About a month ago I even applied as a volunteer music compositon member. I haven\'t heard a peep out of the folks at Planeshift, so they either didn\'t like what I submitted to them, or they\'re a bunch of lazy bungholes. I wonder which it is...

This was my followup:
I really hope it is not the latter. Did you try e-mailing Luca Pancallo? Or perhaps posting on their forums? I\'m sure they probably receive a decent amount of e-mails, so perhaps yours was overlooked or lost. It might be worth your time trying to contact them again (you might have to send a few e-mails out, explain your situation and such) and see if you get a reply. Just dont make rash judgements though. Its never good to assume. (It just makes an *** out of U and Me  )

And then he said this:
When I submitted my application, I e-mailed it to info [at] planeshift.it. On the web site, this is listed as one of his e-mail addresses, so I presume he read it. Maybe it was lost or overlooked, who knows? I was at least hoping for a \"thanks but no thanks\" reply. Instead, I get nothing.

Maybe I will e-mail him again, since I really think I can help with the project. I\'m not just some kid with a Casio; I\'m working on my Master\'s degree in Music Composition. Heck, I\'m probably one of only a handful of people in the world pursuing an advanced degree in music who also has such an intense interest in GNU/Linux.

You can view this thread here:

My question is who exactly is in charge of the recruitment process for new programmers/ developers?  We need all the skill we can get.  Just thought I should inform you about this.

Cheers,

Gormless

Dont worry, I\'ve warned them that it is still a work in progress  ;)

General Discussion / On the Promotion of Planeshift...
« on: October 19, 2004, 09:12:16 pm »
Hello!  I\'ve been actively promoting planeshift on three linux forums:  linuxquestions.org, justlinux.com and linuxforums.org.  The response has been really good so far.  In just two days, there have been over 170 hits on the Justlinux.com thread and many people have been expressing their interest in the game.  I really hope Planeshift can expand into a very popular MMORPG for Linux gamers.  :D

!!EDIT!!: The number of hits on the JustLinux forum is now over 300!  wOOt!
