As I come from an LP background, specifically, hanging out on CDLIB these days, I found that, while top level descriptive, some of what you described definitely is abnormal to LP mud. The other part that I'm curious about is, is this a help file for coding wizards, or is this a descriptive plan of what you are trying to accomplish? When you ask for design docs, are you talking about general "How to build a mud" docs, or help docs pertaining to various muds/codebases? It think one thing that could be an interesting project would be to build a HOWTO at a general level for MUDs, although I'm sure that this would tend to be codebase specific. Assuming that, a HOWTO that would help beginning mud admins select a codebase would probably be appropriate, and also interesting to design. Is there significant value to doing this?
