Not enough detail in the summary, whats the point of the game? What makes it unique? What parts does it contribute to the community? Whats the game?

sounds like a good idea to me, like a virtual universe with custom created content. Only problem is that it will require very motivated community and also good servers capable to run h24.

In the first versions there is no 3D world planned so it the server neednt to be very good. I have an friend who has an server. The game will only contain some core objects(Building, Items, Creatures, etc.). Then if someone wants an objects he programms it, and share it with other players.

I'm voting "no" because I've had many such proposals cross my desk in the last few years and despite being much, much more detailed and thought-out none of them ever got anywhere because it's far too huge a thing to go anywhere with.
the skill in game design is deciding what not to do; deciding what to do is easy, but means you'll never actually produce anything worthwhile.
Shrug. MHO.

Sorry, the post was a cut&paste job, but I would still like to see a) A somewhat complete GDD b) A started TDD.
I don't think having uncompleted games on Java.net helps the community (which is what I believe the java.net cvs is for). Writing the GDD & TDD will help you gain an idea of the scale of the project you are suggesting, and show that you are dedicated enough to complete the project.

I apologize for the dealy. With GDC and follow-up travelling, I have been away from the forums for thte last two weeks. I have updated the description, though I think the concerns mentioned above will need to be more fully addressed.

Sorry, but for now I still don't clearly understand what is this project and how it will help the community.
I first voted "abstain", but I realized that if nobody understand what it is, nobody will use it, so I voted No.
To know that something will be encoded with SHA-1 doesn't help in the description, the essential of the explanations is missing.

It will work st. like that: 1)so. will start the server and do some serverconfigs(level, items, plans(for buildings, items, ...), startbuildings, terrain(where to play), ... 2)Player will start there client and logon to the server 3)the Gamemaster(who is sitting behind the server) will start the game 4)the Players will dig for Rock, Gold, ... and build mines or whatever to reach the goal, which can be Sell all Gold, kill all Monsters better description?

I fully agree what mlk is saying. However before asking someone to do a design doc we should tell them first (eventualy with an example) what will be accepted as a design doc.
