I actually tossed around the idea of a .NET engine that we could write plug-ins for, and which could battle each other and use primitive AI to attack, defend, build, repair and form clans. And then Microsoft built Terrarium

That would be a kick arse thing to do, even if MS did it already.

I personally think AI related is a great idea. In fact an Life sounds really cool to me.
With respect to the MS thing, something with the same goal, advancing the "language" is available. It deals with AI and learning a language.

This has all source code available. Could be used, the logic that is, to create a framework for the ALife.

Rather than just an ALife/AI, how about an ALife/AI project that is a P2P system. No central servers. Possible research information:

I'm a graphics loving guy and I'd like to work on a fractal engine of some sort.
This may not have any practical use except for personal enjoyment.

I've worked on a project like that fro about 2 years I called it ChaosImager http://joelholdsworth.members.beeb.net/CI1/INDEX.HTM[^]. I found that the mainstay of my project was having good interface like BCG - and when that ceased to be free the project kinda lost momentum!! But if you look at other famous fractal makers such as UltraFractal they all have beutiful interfaces. So I think UGLY should be the first priority!!!

What about rewriting Codeproject to Asp.Net (c# or mc++) finaly  ?
i'm only pointer to myself

... like KaZaA, DC etc... but you can only share source code?
But it would take a long time before people get to know about the program...

OK I have an idea and I'm currently working on it at the moment. Will post it as an article once it has gone beyond the pre-alpha stage

Call me stupid, but is there another way to make one work ?
I can't seem to think outside of the box on this.

Three ideas.
1. The idea that Chris Maunder mentioned. The good thing about that project is that it is doable, practical. It can consist of a foundation layer and then phases as new controls are built. Results can be quickly achieved which is vital to the success of a project team like this. The down side is it is web-dev and I know not everyone here is interested in that.
2. A code snippet library sharing app and service, thing. Naturally with a Visual Studio add-in. There are a lot of them out there but after having spent a week downloading and testing most of them the common problem is they are nice but hardcore programmers will hate them. You know, the command line type of guy. Most of them are a pain to setup and have a bunch of features that hardcore okes will never use. It needs to be something really slick, something focused and direct that works like a hardcore chap expects it to.
3. A project management system. Phase tracking, bugs, document storage, client feedback area etc. Not a source control system, but a system for the management of a project that both managers/clients and the developers are happy with. We all bitch about management of projects, so lets do something about it for once.
Also for the project in general, especially the first time out, I would like to say; Think small, think focused, think useful.
An operating system, a game? Come on guys, we know how that will go, it won't. We need something that will do one or two things very, very well. Something that can start small, a foundation layer, be released, see results and then can be extended as needed.
It must be attainable.
Management of this is going to be a nightmare. People get bored, go on holiday, disagree, fail to deliver or just disapear. Splinter groups will form.
So if we do something small and focused the first time it sets a good precedent for later, larger projects. Lets rather get our internals working before we try and fix the world

I'm interested, but I don't have Windows 2000/XP, so I can't test ASP .NET stuff. That doesn't mean I can't code them, though.

This is needed so we can work out the bugs and see how this whole project thing works out. Use a spiral model. Build small, then build layer by layer like on onion.
This doesn't mean you can't have a grand idea. Just keep the initial requirements to a minimum.

Why don't you split up your ideas, so that we easier can vote on the one we like.

Please put these ideas in seperate messages so they can be voted on individually.
Then add your general comment to the comments section.
We gotta follow the rules Paul. 
Thanks.
