As much as I (really, really) hate to do this, I have to take a break from developing Volucris for a while. I've tried to keep my coding up over the last few weeks, and it's starting to get in the way of my other responsibilities--going to class, doing homework, working at the robotics lab, and holding down a job. As a result, it's started to be less of a passion and more of a hassle to work on PV.

Here is the start of the document that helps explain the world editor in its current state (it's only been updated to the "Terrain Rules" section, and is embarrassingly incomplete). Let me know what I should add to it, what needs to be explained, and any bugs you find, and I'll try to fix them asap.
Although I'm going to stay around the boards and keep taking to all of you, and would love it if you all stayed too. If you want to keep in contact, my AIM is "quigate". Leave your email if you want me to send you a message when I make the next major update to PV, which should come during spring break (sometime in March). Until then, feel free to dream up ideas and discuss them!
If you want to start discussions about something else that you think would keep the community alive in the meantime, I'd be happy to make a forum for you and make you the mod.
Best wishes!
Karl
