Hi.

Considering I probably account for anywhere from 10 to 50 percent of all the real coders to post on these boards (snippetmonkeys dont count) I felt obligated to notify you that this idea has been nominated as one of the worst ideas in the history of sentient thought.

If you could get such cooperation, it would be better to have all these contributing parties log in as players and have the MUD itself be right-out-of-the-box Diku.  With that many players, you'd win by default; but if they all participate as coders, you'll end up with yet another miserable failure which will slowly pass out of all knowledge as people condition themselves to ignore all the idiotic advertisement spamming on these forums.

Best of luck
