Good approach to the manager thing

You applying? That kind of initiative is a good quality :)

Honestly, I would, as I do think that I have a knack for, shall we say, smoothing things out, among different people, but I just don't think I'll have the time. I should know within a week or so if I do, but even then, I don't meet the qualifications I set for the others - I haven't managed anything significant that I can remember. Except for these elections, that is. :p

I can probably coordinate some stuff (have done it in the past) and I will have a lot of free time after a week or two; the only problem is that I don't know much about C++ programming. :(

Look at the application thread; you don't need to know C++, just "a basic understanding of programming principles". :)

When VW does return, I think the proper course of action will be to take elections within the team and then proceed from there. We've got a site under development that will then serve as a center for everyone on that team. Updating .Plan files, posting news, and making releases available. Also, whatever other automated systems you guys need, we'll develop (within reason).
And we'll support forums at both locations for added convienence. As long as there is central communication inside the team, the forum that the general public interacts in is of no major concern and it should keep things peacable again :)

Hmmm... we need to talk, Icey-boi.

hmmm, i'll volunteer as a member of that committee: Lead Giver-of-stupid-and-often-impractical/impossible-ideas. Seriously though, i do have a lot of ideas for improvements, as i'm sure Aldo, Venom, and Woomeister do as well. I think we need to get all the project leaders in here and figure out what changes we all need/madly desire.

Nothing's being said about a committiee. Personally, I'd prefer if there wasn't a committiee for coming up with ideas - that's what the general public is for. :) If the project manager couldn't handle it (too much workload), it would be the job of a committiee to decide which of those ideas from the public got worked on.

The principles is the stuff I am fairly good at (logic, discrete math, etc.), so I can put the general ideas into more distinct series of commands, but the problem is that I am not too well acquainted with the C++ syntax and programming procedures. :(

First of all, are you willing/able to manage this? Because I don't see anything in your post that would indicate that - just a few comments on your programming abilities.
EDIT: Whoops - you see what happens when you don't follow the rules? Tsk tsk... ;) CP, why'd you mention possibly being able to manage it in this thread, and not in the other one?
To all of you quoted people: I'm gonna be a stickler for keeping that other thread clean - if you wanna say something aside from posting an application, say it in this thread. :nod:
Inquisitor:
Not a committee for ideas, or even necessarily a comittee for deciding what to work on, but maybe more a group of people who look at a submitted piece of code and say "yeah, this is clean, this will advance the engine, yada yada" then committ it to the code base at large.
Settings tasks and who does what can be difficult to do as a group, and the "ideas" should definitely come from the community :)
IceFire:
You need a leader first and foremost....but that leader needs a committe under him to help co-ordinate efforts and bring that to the top. I suggest that the leader be chosen after serious discussion and debate and then election. The best person for the job has to be cool headed, practical, and a supreme diplomat and compromizer. Plus the team leader needs to be a good programmer and be able to understand what everyone else is doing.
Anything of this magnitude will need to find its own path, but I'm already starting to see individual groups looking for their own programmer to work on their modification of FreeSpace code. This is a bad thing I think. As one of the co-leaders of TBP, I want to make sure that all of the changes we want are into one big package and that our team has someone in the big group committe....and the same for all of the other MODs out there. There should be a form of communication for all intersted into those who make it happen.
