Hi all.

I'm a spanish player of Shadowrun. A lot of time ago i start some
shadowrun programming proyects, but leaved it away due to my study and
work, but now my work "need" that i learn some language (C# - Mono/.NET)
and architecture, and i started again my project.

The idea:

Create a full suite of shadowrun software that run on Windows, Linux and
MacOS, not just a character generator or dice roller, but a full suite,
with game traking for GMs, etc. It will be for shadowrun 4th edition.

Some properties:

- Platform: Mono (free open source .NET implementation sponsored by
Novel)
- Code language: C#
- Window manager: GTK#
- File system: XML

My goals with this options are:

- Full interoperatibility: it should work on the fly in Windows, Linux
and Mac.
- Full multilanguage: Interface is easy to localize, but with xml
files, it's also easy to create localized tags for each item saved.
- XML schema: i want to create a full xml schema that define every
aspects of shadowrun.
- All software, UML files, xml schemas, documentation, etc will be
released under GNU/GPL licence.

I've a sorceforge project, in
https://sourceforge.net/projects/shadowrunsuite/.

I want to know if there is some legal issues i should know (software
rights, etc), and if someone want to join project, it will be
welcomed :)
