Community Growth and Health? #18

Hi, I'm Volund of the MUSH Community. Been looking into MOO on and off and I found this thanks to reddit... well, really I found it thanks to ToastStunt community talking about it and have a few things to say and suggest....

  1. SPECTACULAR JOB at getting this to where it is. I was thinking about doing something similar if I had infinite time - which I don't - and now I don't have to, I can learn from and possibly help out with this one instead. I can't wait to tear into this and learn from it. :D And see where it's going.

  2. Suggest a more careful rewording of the readme section that mentions why you'd use Moor instead of ToastStunt. It can be read to imply that ToastStunt doesn't have an active developer community, and it does.

  3. Please create a Discord or similar chat-server for the Moor community to meet up on and grow around. Evennia has one, RhostMUSH has one, ToastStunt has one, I think AresMUSH has one... projects like this need lots of cultivation from a community to grow and thrive, so let's get cracking. 😄

Thanks for the kind words! I do already have a discord server that I've been using for coordination with some old MOO and ColdMUD folks from back in the day. I'll advertise that here for now, but my intent in the long run is to be self-hosted -- have a MOO server and a custom client. I just have to get things in a bit of a more stable state.

In the meantime, my existing Discord can be reached here: https://discord.gg/pmKRBhz8

The README etc is definitely under a lot of heavy editing, in particular today. I'm traveling for work this week and won't have time to put too much time in, but I do want to pause and spend more time on that kind of thing shortly. I have a lot of idea-stuff on this topic (30 years worth) I need to get written down.

(And yeah I didn't actually mean to imply lack of activity on ToastStunt though I see how the wording there would be seen that way. ToastStunt itself doesn't fit the path I am going down, but I'm happy to see it getting some love)
