Right, this was created by (I think) Swiftoak for the interview with zhakaron.
Quoted in total. It needs some reworking before it can be put in the handbook (it's so cheery it makes me seriously uncomfortable), and preferably some feedback from people who were around at the time.
Vision and Goals
Tamriel Rebuilt is a fan-based project which modifies The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The goal of the project is to expand the original game in a manner consistent with the intention, style and vision of the original game designers, Bethesda Softworks.
Ashlanders are suggested to have had better lands before being forced out by House Dunmer, which would lead to Ashlander burial grounds extending beyond where Ashlanders are settled presently in the late Third Era.
RyanS posted a link to the first wave of designed RR interiors. They were agreed to be put into the first batch.
A first wave of quest claims is prepared by Kevaar and can be moved on from the design stage as well.
“Content file” (name pending) content type
A dedicated content type to replace Merge Claims is being tested on the dev site. An additional step would be required for bugs, assets, and claims: when they are merged into a content file (such as TR_Mainland), they would need to be linked to the content file node.
A topic of discussion are the general shape and time placement for TR’s decisive meetings. Saturdays in the current timeframe (5 pm/17:00 UTC) are not available for all or even most people, and the fact that decisions are finalized during these meetings make them as exclusive as prior consensus meetings are.
Meeting Notes for Saturday August 13 at 5PM GMT on Discord
Releases
Frequency - We’re in favor of a semi-annual release instead of a quarterly one. Quarterly releases presume the optimistic version of a workflow TR doesn’t currently have, centered around assembling finished and reviewed claims.1612 should be released on schedule as a bugfix release, but afterwards TR should move to 1 release every 6 months.
Clarify our position on editing VV, get a summary, and post it publicly, maybe in the FAQ. Basically, revise and revisit the official statement of vision.
What/when will TR edit to make there be less of a divide between the Mainland and VV?
