[idea] developing racing-sims as a community

[Nigo]

#2 implies partly #3, because we have to work together to agree on standards and then there would be no point of separate the code; that could be a beginning

#1 can be separated in at least two points :
_just to make statistics : no constraints at all, but it can give us feedbacks
_work management and teams : ok, there are some constraints, but it could give better results, and for some people (like me) be more interesting and rewarding... it's a matter of choice. Since most parts will stay unmanaged, people keep their choice to work as they do right now

(how many heavily managed, regimented open-source game projects are there? I can't think of any)

how many open-source projects are as complex as a racing simulator ?
I'm sure as they get complex, there is some kind of management raising. For example in FlightGear, it looks like there is a lot of discussion before anyone can put his code in
