Date

Type of meeting
All-developer meeting at the IRC channel. Developers from all departments and interested community members are encouraged to take part in the meeting.

Current project situation
There are some things, rather obscure for me, mainly in the current engine state:
 * What is the current status of the project? The blog entry summarizes state of all the things ( http://blog.parpg.net/2010/03/ ), so that we know more or less what things are looking like (with an exception of programming department): no sound effects are made, there is not enough 3D graphics for preparing maps and quests on large scale, but enough for the alpha stage, the mechanics are sketched and ready for implementation
 * what has been made, what parts/features of the game engine are in working state?
 * what is yet to be made, what parts of the engine are seriously incomplete, needs to be rewritten from scratch or are yet to be made?
 * are there any major errors that are easy to overlook for someone stepping in?

Project crew status and destination

 * Who is still willing to make something for PARPG?
 * How much can we push the project forward on our own?
 * If "not much" - will we wait until someone new will arrive (how long should we wait?)? Or rather, if there is not enough enthusiasm - should we cease the work and hibernate the project (where?)?
 * If some progress towards Techdemo 2 is possible on our own - is it significant enough to be taken, is it enough to make PARPG even more attractive for new community members? Is it enough to make game "playable"?

If there will be a chance the project will continue:

Ideas for gathering more people around PARPG

 * Who is needed most?
 * How to make the game playable ASAP?
 * Looking for a Python hacker
 * Looking for the artists
 * Looking for a manager

Results
The agreed upon decisions will be listed here after the meeting.
