First off, didn't mean to ignore your posts, Trace.  I seem to only be
getting half the posts by email, so I'll start checking the group
itself now.

This sounds good.  How long is this port going to take?

This is great-- I really believe that Open Source is the way to go,
especially with small, limited userbase projects like this.  And my
hope is that we can all work together to get it right-- I'm with you
guys all the way. =20

I'm signed on the list now.  The question, I suppose, is how much of
this conversation should we maintain on rpg-tools, and how much should
we carry over there?

StarMap is great-- the name is a lot less important than the product.
We can always talk about it some more once we move on beyond the
initial port.  OpenSphere (http://eykd.net/open/) is pretty much just
some notes and a few pages of Perl, all of which I'll be happy to
contribute.  OpenSphere, as I've envisioned it, is less of a
stand-alone application, and more of a network-based universe
creation/campaign management tool, I suppose.  But the idea is muddy,
and subject to change a lot as I learn more about what is possible (or
impossible).
I'll start brainstorming ideas for feature requests.
