Hey, guys, to all the programmers and people volunteering to help with the fallback project, hang out for a while and keep checking back. We definitely want to take advantage of all the talent we can.
At the moment we're trying to figure out the best way to organize the project and split up the work. As I'm sure you know, too many chefs working on any one particular piece can be counter-productive. So we're working on splitting up the work into discrete modules that can be worked on independently, and when that's ready we'll want to get some volunteers to work on writing those modules. Kind of a challenge to engineer something so big in a short amount of time but we're very driven and I'm confident it will happen.
C experience is the most useful, as we're aiming to make this beast as efficient as possible, since we won't necessarily have as beefy hardware to run it on as the official servers. But we'll need some external tools as well, so experience with anything at all can be put toward those.
