This file contains the names and e-mail addresses to contact if you run into trouble. In general, their response time is usually faster than mine. If you wish to be put on this list, please send e-mail to me in the same format. You'll have my eternal gratitude for taking this off my back. Name: Chris Dodd E-Mail: dodd@cs.stanford.edu How I can help: I can handle traking down and eliminating noxious bugs. I can do other stuff as well, time permitting. name: Lucifer email: jguy@lilith.ebay.sun.com how I can help: I can do docs, misc. bug chasing and some fixes, and have a pretty good handle on the MUF end of things. I'm working on a more comprehensive MUF Users Guide and Cookbook. I'll do whatever I can, but work constraints probably keep me from doing really intensive coding-related work on this. Name: Doug Orleans E-Mail: dougo@belch.berkeley.edu How I can help: Well, I'm not sure yet, but I'll try to do anything you ask me to; otherwise I'll work on new commands, instructions, etc. Nothing big though, at least not for now. Name: Russ "Random" Smith E-Mail: russ@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu How I can help: First off, I can help get MUCK up-to-date with some of the MUD modifications it lacks and needs. As I (admittedly rather rudely) pointed out, some that exist are already based on my work, and I think MUCK could use some further ones (BOT and string compression come to mind). In fact, if needed, I could code things that haven't been done before. I do still have good programming ideas occasionally, although I'm not terribly innovative (as compared to some) about theoretical mud changes, as much as implementation procedures and code. Besides, I'd love to run the thing. I really dig programmable muds, and MUCK is (a) the closest to publishable, and (b) database conversionable (what an ugly way to say that). Finally, I just dig programming it. Really. I've already built a TARDIS for it, and it's a blast. The only drawback to having me around is a profound desire to at least be mentioned if anything of mine is used. I learned that trait from being an amateur fiction writer. Name: John Callas Email: callas@eris.enet.dec.com How I can help: I've been working on a TinyMUCK port to VMS. To let you what's been going on, I've ported TinyMUCK to VMS, using a DECnet transport. I've not yet achieved my goal of allowing both DECnet and TCP, and that'll have to wait. I am interested in supporting TinyMUCK for VMS, and would like to keep in synch with the development that the rest of you all are doing. Name: Jim Mattson Email: jmattson@ucsd.edu How I can help: I can help track down and repair bugs in the standard distribution, but don't come to me with your local modifications. Name: Ernest Campbell aka Black_Dougal Email: miller@sun1.forestry.auburn.edu campbell@ducvax.auburn.edu How I can help: I'm willing to work on just about any nifty mod as long as it doesn't involve *major* coding and/or database modification (I think that the designers have already decided that that's an 'official' no-no anyways). Also, since my TigerMUCK is running on a Sun Sparcstation 1, I may be able to offer some assistance to others trying to install on Sparcs.
