Some links below (with "internal") are only available for BotE-Team.

To get part of BotE-Team and to assume duty of aiding please contact SirPustekuchen. Be sure that your first duty will be not to whistle-blow any internals of next BotE-versions before SirPustekuchen announced it. Time and effort of your help will mostly be your free decision - there's few pressure from BotE.

Following overview is for

• knowing open topics
• to have main links
• to see who's actually working and previously worked on it (and on some topics to know contact person)
