Excerpts from Martin Abente's message of Tue Aug 31 20:44:25 +0200 2010: [Organising a Sugar game session, e.g. Sauerbraten] > Why not Quake?! Quake 2 coop mode was fun ;) AFAICT the Quake 2 game data is still proprietary, so not available to everyone (legally). Open Arena [1] would be an Open Source alternative. The latter (being based on Quake 3 which has a very different single player mode than Quake 2) shares the drawback of Sauerbraten that there's no co-op mode, though it does at least support bots (while Sauerbraten doesn't). Doom 2 with FreeDoom data files supports co-op mode; there's even an activity for it [2]. I have a feeling it incorporates binary code and won't work on most systems, but AFAIK most distros ship it so that's not an issue. ;)

Do you have any concrete idea what we could do to improve or speed up the process? What would you consider the most important blocker / what took most of your time?
