Next step - cleaning up - polishing documentation - and getting in place a workplan for remaining feature additions and/or structural adjustments.I think we sorta agreed we needed to be supportive of user (and developer) need, and that the first "next step" the way I see it is to get fortress out of the door.

I'd like to encourage you to use your gained knowledge during development of this new code to help "clean up and polish" the fortress materials. That way, you might be able to help with some "forwards compatibility", as the stuff you're working on in the merlin arena is likely to find it's way into (or be part of) a future version of fortress.
cheers,

(another encouragement: add a gump descriptor to jakarta-gump/projects/avalon-sandbox.xml to get merlin available as a nightly build :)
