Here's an offer...

NBKE is open source. That means that any Tom, Dick or Harry can do with it what they want. There's no stopping you, Madkill, or anyone else for that matter from continuing where IKSLM left off.

However, it's not like you have much programming experience like IKSLM, Nebster or Mefistotelis, so one wonders what you could actually give to NBKE, especially seeing as you've literally just said that there aren't any decisions to be made about the direction the project takes.

I'm therefore guessing the main reason you want the title "Project Lead" is to give yourself an ego boost, a sense of importance. If I'm wrong about that then fair play, I wish you the best of luck continuing IKSLM's legacy.

Knowing what kind of a person you are

You can't be serious with that statement.

Thanks Pat.

I agree with Hapuga, it is risky

May I give my feeling ?

Legally, you can make a fork project, being team-leader, and you anything you want. But your new-project must be attractive for not staying alone.

IMO, team-leader must be : charismatic, visionary, inclusive, consensual and open-minded. Must a coder. Coders, gfx & sfx artists are imps Team-leader is like "Evil hand"

More like Horny/ed-reaper IMO.

I'm happy with how it is. Me and others just work on it when we have time. Only if we were working on it constantly for a long period of time would it be worth having a project leader. Even then it would be someone who is more involved in the project like a coder or modeller. All the leader would do is call meetings every so often as we want EVERYONE to have a say in what happens to the engine

Sorry Madkill, we just don't need you :P

Organization is key and it'd be nice for there to be someone to keep people more posted on what's going on.

And I'm not just talking about people on this forum.

[Hapuga]

look whos talking about organization

[Patrician]

Yeah totally agree with Chr!x and nebster here.

NBKE hasn't had any problems and there is no point for more project-leaders
