I actually think none outside of the mod team is even in the position to initiate discussion on the LOTRmod to become an open source development project. Sure, I realise I did catalyse discussing creation of a sub- or mod-mod for servers that wanted to customise biomes and other aspects of the game in order to create alternate server versions of Middle-earth, but that was initiated when Mevans indicated he encouraged pursuing the purpose. For the time being, I don't seen any signs that Mevans and his team encourage open source development. They do encourage it for mods hooking up into the LOTRmod, as dicsussed on his wall some months ago, but that's essentially a different approach ... and as far as I can tell still on-going, but a bit pending due to finals.
