    OCP - progress update

    Hello again everyone,

    Well, I know I have been somewhat quiet of late, but we (the committee) have
    been very busy. Some of the fruits of our labours have been posted on the
    homepage. Of particular interest, a concept drawing (ie. not the finished
    product) of the city layout has been posted for everyone to look at. I want to
    emphasise that this is NOT final material, but is an aid to design. We believe
    the way the map has been set up and statistics are allocated makes for a much
    easier time in design. Not only that, but the map itself is very easy to modify
    in any way (eg. adding an extra island somewhere) and so it should make life a
    lot easier.

    I am currently in the business of collating all our material from the last week
    or two into a page for the website. This should be posted late this
    week/weekend.

    We will be making a general call for members interested in joining this project
    around the same time. In the meantime, if you wish to get in first, and have
    already decided which group you wish to be part of, then you can send off an
    email to the relevant SC member. If you do not mind which group you work with,
    then send an email to me ( slg@nw.com.au ) and I can put you where you are
    needed. We want as many people to join up as possible, so please don't all hang
    back and wait for someone else to go first. This is a fantastic opportunity that
    any fan of the BR world should not miss. The email addresses of the Steering
    Committee members are on the homepage.

    As always, if you have any queries, feel free to mail me and I will try and help
    you out. If you know nothing about this project, then have a look at the
    homepage before contacting me. Thanks for your time.

    Simon

    I like the map of the city. Very cool. Keep up the great work!!
    One small question though: What is the scale? Also, wouldn't there be a
    lot of islands that are man-made, and lots of others that have been
    joined? I realize the map may be of a scale to only show the large
    islands. I looked at a map of Venice and was surprised at how many
    former islands had been bridged together by filling in the canals and
    joining one to the other. I'm sure this would have happened in some
    areas of CoA. Just a few coppers of my opinion.

    The map is very schematic right now. For an idea of the scale, the Maesil
    is supposedly about a mile wide. IMO, here at the mouth of the river, it
    might be a bit wider.
    Also, In my opinion (and this is just one of us), each of the islands that
    are shown can consist of various sub islands/divided by canals & bridged by
    small bridges, etc, just as you describe. Or they could be one "big" island
    (the islands listed may vary, in fact; some consisting of several islets,
    some just one island).
