policy
Key development follows the open-source bazaar model. Anyone
is welcome to contribute to the release.
Tasks are not 'assigned': sufficently motivated individuals are
welcome to pick anything they wish to work on. However, for
any significant endeavour, it is probably worth checking on
the appropriate mailing list for a consensus upon the best
way to implement any given feature.
This allows us to co-ordinate changes in such a way that
development work is not self-defeating or overlapping in any way.
status
This section outlines the list of different 'parts' of Key
that may be worked on. Each 'part' has a co-ordinator who
has the final say over what is and isn't accepted as a
contribution.

the mac_os_x setup |
I've obviously taken a lot of inspiration from Simon Marsh's origina EW-too code, as well as LambdaMOO and the various MUD servers out there. (diku/circle, etc)
Key is dedicated to Lisa Kim Dow, without whom, I'd never have stayed on Forest for long enough to get addicted to it (or privved, so the story goes). Incidently, that is where we got 2809 from...
