pobocks,

I have to admire your ambition.

First of all I didn't see in your list pcgen or anything else on source forge. pcgen is fairly ambitious in terms of flexibility though limited to d20 and has quite a large team working on it. However your project seems to be at least as ambitious as that.

I guess if I was embarking on your particular adventure I would do the following:

  1. Try to rumble up some interest on various forums. So I suppose this is a good start. Are you posting on any others?
  2. Get a more complete list of potential competitors and review their advantages and disadvantages.
  3. Try to propose a good clean, maintainable and extensible architecture for your application. I would publish it out as an RFC on the most suitable forum.
  4. Try to set some very limited goals for the first phase of the project.
  5. Only then would I start coding.
