Everyone,

I thought that with the size of this group we would be able to tackle a larger 
project than a galaga rip off or something like that but I realize this is a 
learning experience and if anyone else would like to take the list roughly 
split it in half and work on simultaneous projects please make your opinion 
known.  We also need everyone to come up with a game idea or support one that 
is already been suggested.  We still have to come up with a design doc of some 
sort.  This is also part of the learning experience.
