There's a really great manual for CVS at http://cvshome.org. However, we 
can walk you through the basics if you'd like. CVS is a program that runs 
on the SourceForge server that stores all of our work - code, docs, 
images, etc. It keeps a history of the changes made to each file and also 
allows multiple people to edit a given file at the same time! CVS makes it 
possible for us all to work together.

Basically we'd like you to do whatever you're interested in doing. Just 
make sure you email the isugamedev-midworld mailing list to let everybody 
know what you're doing so there isn't any duplicated work. Since you say 
you're a writer and good at design, it sounds like your skills would best 
be used if you started working on a story and gameplay design.

Of course, we'd want you to put the document in CVS. :)

Reply back to the list if you're interested.
