(I put this on my FB page, but I figured I should put any sit-reps here too)
Ah, good stuff -- here's a quick sit-rep for me:
1. I just finished up a pretty cool interview -- it should be out over the next week or so. There was a bit of a lull there with interviews, but now Ben's on it and they are starting to roll in again.
2. I set up 3 forums on the main site for the community and I to discuss the game. One forum is to discuss what's been announced thus far... whatshould be there at launch. The second one is for what we called 'stretch goals' or 'post launch' features. The third is more open and is there to talk about the longer term future of MMOs... like where they should be in 5 years... 10 years... Tech, features, etc. MMO Game Theory... stuff like that. Maybe I can get Raph Koster to post in there once or twice?
First thing we are doing is revising the Game Tenets part of the site, adding a few more, and then making it so you can click on the Tenet to bring up a paragraph explaining more what that tenet really means.
Next we'll do the same thing for Game Features.
Oh, and I'm working Corey on design docs for Climate/Situational Gear & Travel/Vehicles! (two areas I'm personally very excited about and glad to be working on).
