I agree we should coordinate our efforts, and I'll gladly help how I can :)

As I see things, we have the following major things to concentrate on:
* class/race modification. This includes balancing spells/skills, deciding how 
guilds work, making guilds, ...
* map reorganisation. This includes creating new content, including the 
introduction you're talking about if we deem it relevant. This also includes 
adding lore to maps, moving/trashing/adding maps and/or quests
* overall combat balance. This has been evoked on the list, and could include 
speed modifications, ac/wc/sp/hp/gr/weapons balance
* new features for gameplay, like npc interaction, new character creation 
mechanism, ...
* code maintenance - but this should be *to support* the previous steps, not 
an end in itself (except probably the bug cleaning ;p)

Those tasks aren't totally unrelated, of course, and should probably be done 
in a coordinated manner.

Nicolas
