Don't want to share too much unless/until I get a presentable project, but are there one or two individuals out there with extensive Javascript or any other web technology experience? (xhtml/css/graphics, javascript, php, mysql, advanced flash, etc)
I have a lot of my back-end done, but I'm looking for some help to speed things along, particularly with javascript.

Depending on how Stars-like it is, you might want to have a chat with Pascal Wassong. He has written the Étoiles client for freestars which iirc supports rulesets. Its Java rather than javascript but runs via webstart so is similar.
afaik freestars is vapourware atm, so having a backend to plug Étoiles into may help Pascal too.
also fwiw, I'd probably vote against flash every time.
also also...this is quite different to that yes?

I realize FreeStars is dead. I expected that long ago
Yes, very. I began to realize that I had too many of my own ideas to stick within the FreeStars scope, just like most programmers. Too individualistic. So I started on my own, which I still have semi-working copies of, which also happened to use Lua to define everything about the game including the rulesets. That project evolved into this one. I'm moving along, albeit slowly, but am stymied about the interface.
I have also been quietly contemplating skipping the play interface and creating the host code only; the portion that allows game creation, modification and management, and generates turns. But I wasn't aware of any clients that were complete enough to be usable.

Care to e-mail me to bounce ideas and perhaps help?
Anybody, feel free - hjanfield@gmail.com please, so I can keep it all in one place.
I think you guys are right though, especially if someone has nearly completed a client, or perhaps my completion will spur one to be finished.
So, I am going to move hard on my backend. I already had universe generation working on a previous project, I merely need to translate and fill in some minor blanks to have generation similar to classic Stars.
I could use volunteers to handle some minor tasks; one of the biggest tasks is finishing the ruleset. Experience in PHP or any language is an asset, but not necessary - the syntax for the files I'm working with is fairly simple. Just need someone with some time to do some typing and testing.
