    Hello, I am a newbie ArchWiz, on a private MOO. As the only current person
    with access to my MOO, I have noticed a distinct lack of sophistication with
    the basic Database. I am using Oct 94.

    What I would like to do, since I am working with a non-shared site at the
    moment, is create, a more useful Database, with slightly more sophisticated
    objects, like the more sophisticated room styles I have seen on EnigMOO
    (Which I only signed onto last week). These Room Styles and the FO's
    that go with them, represent a significant part of the MOO flexibility,
    but I understand that they are really privately programmed objects ported
    from other MOO's. Since my ISP limits my access to FTP, I haven't raided
    the patches/archives sites for these new objects.

    What I would like to suggest, is that, if it has not already been done,
    I would like to gather such objects, into a relatively pristine MOO DB,
    so that they can be integrated earlier in the Object Heirarchy and so
    that the Base Environment can incorporate more sophisticated structures.
    If this is agreeable, then I would dump the more sophisticated DB, and
    upload it to a receptive site for others to FTP.

    I can see where discussion of which objects should be included and which
    are mere fluff, might be spammy, but I think the result would be that
    upgrading the database between versions might be somewhat easier, and
    the basic power of the DataBase might be increased if the Core included
    more sophisticated objects.

    Please respond via Email to express your support/derision/interest
    as I do not wish to spam this MailServer at least until the support
    indicates a general interest.
