Not at all. The homepage should greet people, and encourage people to join up. If you wish to do this on the wiki, which is I guess our new homepage, then go right ahead. I for one would be glad to see someone update the page with useful info/link whatever is needed. Most all that you mentioned above would be nice in the homepage. As for project direction, guess I will make a new thread about this. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@lists.berlios.de http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/warzone-dev
