The project has taken off now. This is the first real week of 
programming. The goal for this week is to have our 2d tiled map viewer 
up and running. From there we will be building on the actual game.

The game is 'StrikeOps', and you can see the initial design idea here,
http://pygame.org/shredwheat/strikeops/proposal.html

There are around 8 or so people with some level of involvement in the 
project. Currently 3-4 of us are doing the core code development now. 
Also with sample graphics, sound, and music just starting to show up.

There 'home' for the project is currently an online wiki. Everyone's 
feel to browse through it and take a look at the design. Although if you 
are not going to be involved in the project, please refrain from making 
page edits. There is now a ton of information on the wiki, from design 
ideas, to actual code interfaces.

We could currently use more help, here's some places to start,
  We need someone to help create the sound package that is
  described in this interface;

  There is also a 'live' todo list that has small things
  needing doing;

Of course, there are tons of other little things we need helping hands 
with. If you want to get on board there is a separate mailing list 
'pygame-projects@seul.org' you can subscribe to. (same as pygame-users 
list, you must subscribe to post). To subscribe, mail to 
majordomo@seul.org with "subscribe pygame-projects" in the message 
_body_, that's it, easy.
