0. Hook starts the Hook's Majik3d Update news letter

I have started a newsletter listing the activities of the majik3d team.
Most of the material listed will pertain to design work. The reason for
this is becouse I happen to be a designer (non-code writter) not a
developer ( code-writter) and lack the ability to read source code.
Updates anounced by members of the developement team will be posted
though. This newsletter will be posted on the design mail list once a
week and shall contain a summary of design posts, developer
anouncements, and web page updates, as well as anything i pick up from
majik3 MUD traffic.

1. Map changes

A vote has been made and Bethel will be changing the map so that it no
longer looks like a square along with some other adjustments. No
graphics as of yet have been posted.

2. Dabian updated on the server

Dabian, the coolest and most stable of all the linux/GNU distros, has
been updated on the majik server what version it upgraded from or to is
not known. If you really want to know ask Namhas at
namhas@majik3d.org.(personly I don't think he knows either but he can
fake an answer better then me.)

3. Welcome to Pekka Toppi

Pekka Toppi has joined the Majik3d team. He is not sure what to do so
someone give him something to do. (My suggestion is to come up with
monsters. Generic fantasy world ones at first like unicorns and gouls
then work your way to more original unique to Majik type monsters.)
Anyway everyone welcome the new guy his e-mail is pot@norssi.oulu.fi and
home page is http://norssi.oulu.fi/~pot.

4. Dazzt needs a height map

Dazzt has stated the need for a height map. Presumably Bethel will head
this one but he is a busy guy and if anyone wants to get in on the
action please post your intentions. Requirements of the map can be found
here:

https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0559.html

Dazzt can be contacted at this e-mail address:

jari.saukkonen@cs.helsinki.fi

5. xml tests being posted

Some of the developers are testing out xml for the world_book. Examples
of how it will look in html are at
https://majik3d-legacy.org/~namhas/xml/book1.html. If you want to see the tags
they are using look at the docbook file (.db) at
https://majik3d-legacy.org/~namhas/xml/althainon.db
