And yes, you are correct. I/We do need additional hands helping on the Minkata shard, both with running the shard and with the code (and content) as it passes through Minkata. We were very close with one volunteer who had to back out due to some RL and other demands.
What I really need right now is some in-depth time with the MOSS authors/experts. I'm having to analyze in depth some of the deepest data structures and database handling inside MOSS related to game state (SDL) information. I've been making progress, just not quick enough to free time for what I had hoped to be able to do for the 25th celebration next month
All I can do right now is just soldier on, as the saying goes.
Cheers!
