As I mentioned in my previous posts (messages # 4854 and 4858), I am
quite willing to finish the 128k Mass Collaboration IF Sendy doesn't
want to / doesn't have the time to do it and IF nobody else becomes
actively interested in the subject before I get down to it. That
would be my next major JSW activity after releasing Sendy's and
mine "JSW: Mind Control" (hopefully in November), but I would do it
in parallel with preparing "The Universal ZX Spectrum JSW/MM Gaming
Centre", so it would certainly take some time.

If we get to that point, before starting my own work on finishing the
128k Mass Collaboration I will probably launch a "call for rooms", so
that everyone interested can still participate in the project. My
vision would be to receive the rooms first (they could be in separate
game files, I would transfer the rooms to the Mass Collaboration
file), and then start work on incorporating them into the game and
making the game fully playable and compleatable.

Let me know what you all think about it :-) .

Now, as far as JSW64 Mass Collaboration is concerned, personally I am
not interested in participating at this point, because firstly, I
have not investigated seriously the possibilities offered by the
JSW64 game engine yet, and secondly, I have too many other JSW-
related plans. However, if the first JSW64 Mass Collab. is
successful, perhaps I will participate in the Second Edition :-) .
