Other News
As previously mentioned, we've all been quite busy with other endeavors in the past few weeks. However, we've been looking into a few para-development subjects such as registering as a not-for-profit organization (501(c)(3)) and other licensing issues.
I've personally developed a plugin for Glowstone to replace file-system world storage with a Redis solution, using our recent world-storage API created by Kyureki.
