I like the idea of using XML files because I want us to use plain english where it's possible to do that to avoid any confusion down the road. 
I'm going register a nay for XML. While it is plain text, the mark up makes it hard to read and edit by hand, which will be necessary until an editor exists. JSON or YAML are better choices from a manual editing stand point.

I agree that it's confusing.   I've never used JSON or YAML before.  I trust your opinion.

QuoteI have a spare NAS that I think I can use to set up a forum, although it might take me awhile because I've never set one up before.  Unless someone has a better idea?
WTF is an NAS? 

Is this too "naval" to use as a splash screen?

Oh.  Okay.  This is my 4th post and they aren't there now.  That's a good thing.  I sent a PM to the moderator for no reason it turn out.  Sorry dude.

Here's what I see when I try to post something.
The questions go away after three posts. Don't sweat it. Anti-spam measure are very common on forums these days.

there should be no question that must be answered in order to post, only in order to register
Actually ffter registering, to post I have to type in the CAPTCHA and then answer various dumb questions...

76mm checking in here.  Let's start by creating a roster of interested people with names, e-mails, relevant skills and what you'd like to work on?  To avoid spam bots, let's avoiding posting that data in this thread...you can send the info to me and I'll compile the roster.

Also, sooner rather than later we'll need another github account, and some kind of forum would be nice.  I have a spare NAS that I think I can use to set up a forum, although it might take me awhile because I've never set one up before.  Unless someone has a better idea?

Has anyone started to develop an outline of issues to be fleshed out?

there should be no question that must be answered in order to post, only in order to register and that, is an unfortunate necessity. Have never heard anyone complain that it is too onerous in the past. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I expect the anti-bot stuff will go away once we have more posts.


When the Robot revolt begins, it won't be because the Grogs were asleep at the wheel. 

We're the last line of defense from mankind becoming slaves to the machines, and don't you forget it.
