Hi Pedro, I appreciate your enthusiasm for Open Source gaming.
Generally the wesnoth-dev mailing list is for discussions related specifically to Wesnoth development -- but we have a set of forums at http://forum.wesnoth.org which are more widely used and which would be a great place to post your idea (In the "Off Topic/Game Development" section). Note that the Wesnoth developers are a very loosely organized set of volunteers, not a well organized entity that is likely to collectively take up a new game idea and work on it together. The best way to get your game idea off the ground is to work on it yourself!
