Default The new PBW

Has there been any work on the new PBW server software?
I remember all the great ideas and so but haven't heard anything about it for a long time...
Will it be ready by SE5 launch?

I've been bugging various interested parties about it off and on but Tesco's too busy with work and everyone else says it's really Tesco's project...
Anyone here wanna go ahead and work on it without Tesco, perhaps?

SJ has done a bit of experimenting with the code required for running turns... but I agree that Tesco is too busy to lead such a project... we need somebody with lots and lots of free time and webspace... Fyron?

I placed a post on the site about 3 or 4 months ago. That was the first one since August or September some time. The state of it seems to be that everyone has their own preference about how to go about it, but no one has actually done anything. Until it's decided what system, language(s), etc will be used, the project is dead in the water.

Maybe we can have a poll?
Programming language of choice: ASP.NET, JSP, Python, Perl, ???
Features desired: user installation of mods, SE5 support, open games (with no mandatory "accept/reject player"), closed games (with only invited players allowed to join), other archive file formats, prettier GUI, combined text/graphical UI, ???
Bugs to fix from existing PBW: graphical game administration broken, cannot upload .plr without refreshing after uploading replacement .gam, ???
