Source Code Project Redoubling Efforts Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

In an interesting twist, the halting of POL has caused various fan projects to be infused with a new energy. Our Chat Zone mod Quarto has been championing a drive to have the source code of a Wing Commander game released for some time. It's a real long shot, but you never know..

The Wing Commander Engine Source Code Release Project (now that's a mouthful :) )... the name is fairly self-explanatory. In essence, we're writing a petition to Origin, asking that they release the source code for at least some WC games. To be taken seriously, however, we need lots and lots of "signatures" (names + e-mail addresses) to add at the end of the petition.

Right now, all we have is aroud 45 signatures. That is not enough by a longshot. We need YOUR help. All we ask is that you send us a very short e-mail - essentially, it only has to contain your name (first and last). So, you're not losing anything if this fails; but you stand to gain a hell of a lot if it succeeds.

Send your e-mails either to me (mmajewski@usa.net) or to Jumper (jumper@wcescrp.cjb.net). If you want more information about the Project,visit the site at wcescrp.cjb.net.

I know that some of you have doubts whether Origin would ever listen to such a petition. I'd be lying if I was to say, "Of course they will." But if we put enough pressure on them, they just might budge. On the other hand, if you don't support us, then we really can't expect Origin to do anything.

So please, even if you think that this has no chance whatsoever - send us your name anyway. You never know...

Those addresses are mmajewski@usa.net or jumper@wcescrp.cjb.net.
