Campaigns I'd like to see in mainline, in mainline-quality:

Son of the Black Eye
Scepter of Fire
Descent Into Darkness

I haven't tried SotBE in a long time, but I think it's the one that 
would require the most work of the three. Unless it's currently a lot 
better than it was sometime in the past (six months ago? I don't really 
remember when I last tried it), then IMO some serious further work would 
need to go into it for it to become mainline-worthy (I mean some real 
revisions, not just fixing a lot of individual little things). I'll try 
to check it out again sometime soon so I can actually say something 
definite about what I think of it.

Scepter of Fire looks like the easiest one to get into mainline. Some 
polishing here and there and I suppose it could be brought up to 
mainline-quality rather quickly. Since I haven't played that one through 
to the end either, I can't give much of an opinion on it.

I liked DiD quite a lot when I played it, and I think it has potential 
to be a really nice shortish campaign when worked on a little bit more. 
I might have interest in helping with this.

I'm not too keen on campaigns like Saving Elensefar (haven't tried it in 
ages): it's a bit too different and I don't think one can make all the 
things that are different work and look well and good enough to consider 
it mainline-quality. It's probably a fun campaign (at least it was when 
I played it a bit, which must have been a year ago or something like 
that), but IMO a prime example of something that should remain UMC.

***

On a slightly unrelated note, I'd like to propose that mainline campaign 
candidates be committed into SVN as early as possible (could be done 
even before there is a consensus on whether we want it in mainline or 
not), into a separate branch. This way it's a lot easier for interested 
devs to work on it, and having the campaign in it's own branch doesn't 
interfere with anything else.
