Please send me an email of how much time (on average per week) you can
contribute, what role(s) you see yourself as being able to fill.

I'll start:

10-20 hr. per week
some development, technical writing, coordination, web design, resource hosting

after a few days i will tally the results

5-10 hrs. per week.

Development, Technical Writing, Systems Administration, possibly other
roles but those are what I do professionally.

2-3 Hours per week, although it is more like 1-2 day per month and not a consistent effort over the weeks.

I could help with Web Programming, General Development, Database Dev (if required), Project Management, somewhat crappy Graphics Design. I agree with Allen that having a big pile of emails to sort through is a bit of a challenge. There is already a frequently offered clever suggestions to make netrek better at: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/games/netrek/suggestions/part1/ . Maybe if we had a wiki that might be better.
The suggestions could have the following info per suggestion
1) Category: IE, architecture, gameplay, UI, how to market the game whatever.
2) Reasons For:
3) Reasons Against:
4) Technical difficulty to implement:
5) Estimated manhours to implement:
6) Open ended comments: from everyone on how high a priority they feel this should be
7) Candidate Developer to implement this feature
8) etc

Cheers,

Craig Cameron

Maybe you already have. My involvement in the group has been fairly recent.

Here are the results of my call for who was willing to help out on the
new netrek development effort. If you still want to participate please
let me know what task(s) you can assist with and how many hours per
week you can devote.
