 I have mostly worked on my own programs that were written in Python as a way to learn the language.

I am more willing to put up with a game that might not have exciting gameplay if it has a great story that keeps me interested in the game world. If a game has only great gameplay and no story, I am likely to get bored because the game will seem too repetetive and I won't think that my actions actually matter.

-If a server rewrite is required, the code will be written in Python as the current server is already coded in Python and the server has to integrate with other Python code. The server will be responsible for communicating with client-side programs that will request for information on addons. To do this, the server will listen on an open port for requests and send information based on the request. The server will give the download location of the campaign along with the information listed in the translation files. The server should send the information in some structured format (maybe XML or JSON) so the client can read the information and place the information in the appropriate portions of the UI. The server will also be responsible for integrating with Wescamp to grab translations and to run programs to update UMC regarding WML code and when new content is uploaded.
+If a server rewrite is required, the code will be written in Python.

-The client-side programs will make requests to the server program to fetch information about the various user-made campaigns and show the information to the user in an organized fashion. The client-side programs should have a way to detect the locale setting of the computer and give that information to the server so the appropriate translation can be given to the client. For each campaign in the campaign list, the UI should display at least the name of the campaign, version, file size, and a description of what the campaign is about. The client should probably cache translation information when received so that the client does not make a request to the server after selecting a different campaign listing and then selecting a previously selected campaign. When a download is requested, some form of progress window should appear with the ability to cancel the download in progress.
