To-do List

Look through my email for unfinished business
Finish the Giak Tutorial
Finish the conversion to the new navigation model
Add time dependent content to the Command Post
Convert Chat to use ICQ and IRC
Develop a "personalize the Oasis" feature
Add a map to the Magnamundicon
Create a Giak Dictionary to supplement the Giak Lexicon
Add Fire on the Water to the Magnamund Tome
Create a VRML interface to the Oasis

The tasks toward the top of the list have higher priority. I don't guarantee that items will always be added at the end of the list. For the computer science or mathematically minded, this is not strictly a queue (FIFO). This means that several items not presently on this list will be finished before those currently at the end.

Other Lone Wolf-related projects that will consume some of my time:
