A Business ProposalA few years ago, I started working on a long term project called The Commonality. It was to be a massive multiplayer online service requiring a team of programmers, artists, customer support, etc. In short, a whole company. I spent several years writing the software that would serve as the foundation for other programmers to build the complete system. Then I wrote technical design documents and a business proposal. Unfortunately, I completed the documents just as the stock market started to crash in 2001. The market niche is still available, as I carefully chose a theme quite different from the rest of the industry. The project is currently on a back burner, waiting for the investment economy to revive. |
