This space is intended for anyone to share their drafts and ideas for things which could be implemented into NeL or Ryzom Core, as well as for incomplete documentation and working notes. There's no guarantee anything in this area will actually be made. The goal is to share, and improve on, ideas. Whether or not you're experienced with any particular aspect of game development, this is the place to turn your ideas into reality. {.is-info}
