Adam Wiggins (adam#angel,com) spake thusly:

&gt; down is *not* people not working.  It's failing to account for the
&gt; sheer amount of /stuff/ that goes into a usable product.
[ Examples of writing telnet module, DB module etc snipped ]

  Of course, this is where DevMUD could win. We can do all these modules
in parallel as long as we agree on a way of linking them. In theory
anyway :) A modular plugin-based mud should help here in that it'll force
us to consider inter-module interfaces and divide the code into very
clear chunks that people can work on independently.
