Hi Jay,

I've gone through your document and it looks good. I think it is great to have something to start with.

Could you please include those sketches in the Game Script document? The picture that corresponds to the main gameplay (which you called play) should be put in the Main Gameplay Mode section.

Regarding the screens you have designed:

Play: this is the main screen. Even if it is early to design exactly all the features, we do need to have it available so that we can start working on it as soon as possible. From your design, I see the following parts that will need special attention:
Chat: the idea is to connect to an IRC server so that we save all the time and hassle from implementing a messaging solution. We do need some kind of Porlet (in portal terms) that allows the user to connect to an IRC server. I believe there should be already some libraries to ease up development work. It would be even better and worth the time trying to find some open source web solution easily reusable.
Game canvas: this is going to be the tougher part as it will be the most complex one. We still need to think about this part carefully.
Header menu: Easy mostly static menu. 
Side menu (game links): This part should offer the player events and such so that she can directly go to the object that produced the event.
Wiki: We will use a third party wiki with which we can integrate the game.
Home: looks fine at the moment. I wouldn't spend too much time on this screen as it is not important for a Beta product.
Login: this one needs to be done and will be part of the security module that still needs to be created.
Password: Both password screens shall be implemented at the same time we enable security.
Account: on this page we allow the user to modify her profile as well as contact information.
Help: At the moment the help page is not needed.


Great work!
Edu
