I'm a computer science major at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, Georgia and I have been very interested recently in started a game project with my friends here. We wanted it to be an online, multiplayer, multiplatform, open source, 3D RPG using OpenGL (specifically Mesa). Imagine my surprise while reading about Mesa when I discovered a link to your site. Here was a project 4 years in the works that was frighteningly similar to the one my friends and I had layed out. Don't you just love the open source community? :) Anyway, I've tried out the project as it stands (0.3.0) and read through some of the source code and I've decided that it would make much more sense to donate my efforts to your project rather than "reinventing the wheel" as you put it in your website. I don't have a lot of experience with C++ and none with OpenGL, but I'm eager and a fast learner. I view this as an opportunity to learn from your development team's experience while (hopefully) actually contributing something useful to the project. Please let me know how I can be of help. I actually have lots of free time right now and will for the rest of the year, so I'd like to spend it doing something I consider useful instead of just wasting it watching TV or something. :) Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you soon.
