1. Trello
We're not using Trello anymore.
The Trello board is here: https://trello.com/b/1dhb35Ep/ivan
If you'd like to contribute, first create a Trello account and post your username here or send it to me in a PM. Then I can add you to the board so you can create, edit, and claim tasks.
There are 3 lists: "Unclaimed Tasks", "In Progress", and "Ready for Testing."
If you see something you're interested in, click on the "card", choose yourself as a member, and drag it to the "In Progress" column so that others know that you're working on it.
If you notice bugs, or have ideas for new features, feel free to add your own cards as well! Even if you can't code them, maybe somebody else will. Be sure to label your card as a bug (red) or feature (blue) so that we can see at a glance what they are.
Once your code is complete and pushed, move it to the "Ready for Testing" column so that others can compile it and check it out. After it's been tested, it will be merged into the official code.

Thanks to the recent interest and push by a few members, it looks like a group effort of continued IVAN development is finally in the works.
This is exciting because unlike the existing mods and variants, which are scattered around and separate, this time we're going to keep the source code all in one place.
I will be adding it to Github, which means that anybody can grab the code and contribute! This is also good because it's not too much pressure on one person - you can help in whatever way you can whenever you have time. For those with a professional interest in coding, you can also brag that you've contributed to an open-source project!
We'll also be using Trello to manage tasks, features, and bugs. We're starting with CVS as a base, and existing variants can eventually be merged in.

Warheck, create a Trello account when you get a moment and I can add you as an admin.
Of course if nobody likes this we can use something else. But Trello is really easy to use... just pick a task you want, assign it to yourself, and drag it to the "In progress" column and others will see that you are working on it. Drag and drop to rearrange them... we'll put higher priority stuff at the top of lists, and wish list stuff at the bottom.

1 - I can
2 - yes!
3 - I think we should start with CVS. Then we can create branches for the others and merge things in one at a time, when we are sure they are stable.
5 - I vote for Trello. I can set that up. Let's first create a list of initial tasks, then I'll set up the Trello board and allow people to join it, then everyone can claim which tasks they are interested in.
I actually like SVN better than Git, and I have certain loyalty to Sourceforge too. But it seems like github is emerging as the best place to show off contributions to open source projects, so I am leaning towards github for hosting the code.

What're we hear hearing about?
whoa, I just realized when you click someone's username the drop down menu appears way offset

lol 4zb4.
I played the valpurium golem one a couple times... one of the golems somehow escaped! Her chameleon whip must have polyed it into something that could teleport

4zb4, how'd you do it in the first post? I love this challenge! Really creative solutions so far

My first attempt was pitting Izzy (monster team) against Sherry (Attnam team). Hoping sherry would die and I could take credit for her death. But after a bunch of explosions, she beat him pretty soundly. I gotta say, this is the first time I've ever seen Izzy's corpse. I have a black chest because a golem (summoned/polyed by Izzy) was chasing me, which Sherry also saved me from)
Second attempt -> since Izzy's teleportation made things difficult, I tried to trap her in a room full of golems. The whole town turned out to watch, but she still won

@cap (maybe a slight spoiler?)
ah you're right, thanks. I also set her on the wrong team, so she wasn't attacking anyone

Well I am pretty much failing at this. Trying to replace imperialist with mistress(QUEEN) and she just doesn't show up
