That sounds like a great idea - I'd love to see what you have in mind.
Perhaps the first thing to do is get setup at sourceforge: That'll give
you a place to start posting some ideas, and set up a couple of discussion
lists to get some brainstorming going. If you're doing something exciting,
I'd be interested in getting involved.
I've been interested, on and off, in some sort of distributed mud-like
system. I'd like, for instance, to be able to walk through a door and
seamlessly be talking to another server. Or manipulate objects whose
behavior is being computed on another machine somewhere else. You'd figure
out some system where by objects (a stove, a book, etc.) declare the ways
in which they can be manipulated (open, close, read, etc.), along with
verb mappings, then anyone can drop new objects in, run it's innards
anywhere, and let people play with it. Some sort of Corba'ish/RMI deal.
