Re: [projectx] Calm down Christian

[Ben C. <cro...@ne...>]

Comrades,

I've e-mailed Cristian about this, so hopefully it should stop soon.  But
getting back on topic...  Ideas like the vehicles and such are good --
make no mistake on that.  We probably won't implement them in the initial
version, because we actually want to *have* an initial version.  If we
keep on stacking feature upon feature, we'll never get anywhere.  And we
only have less than four months anyway.  *But* ideas are good for the
reason that we want to not write ourselves into a corner that will exclude
such possibilities.  What I'm saying is this: we want to leave ourselves
open to have vehicles at some future date, for example.  We want the
engines to be extensible enough that that won't be a problem.  We won't
actually do it just yet, but we want to keep it in mind and plan for it.
So keep the ideas coming in, and I'll take note of all of them, but for
now we need to concentrate on the simple stuff.

Later,
Ben
