Welcome Chris,
Thanks for the input, we really appreciate it.
I have to admit I initially went to JavaGaming.org to attract some people this way, but I must say it's a very nice site you have there and I plan on staying for more than blatant advertising.
As a sidenote, which things in our approach impress you so much? (that would be useful information)

Glad you liked the forums and are going to be staying

As for the things I like,I like how you are approaching this by, basically,building a design document with input from the team. You have a nice site set up here to track the development and you are providing a level of transparency into the development process that is really nice.
Good luck, and I'll keep watching

- Chris
