there are two paths the community can follow in producing Red
Baron 3D "Players Edition" :

1. put together a comprehensive and easy to use add-on CD with
features described here. This course
would benefit the community only, and while there might be a few
return to the game, it's more likely the community size will shrink
than expand over the next year or two.

The release of Knights
Over Europe later this year, will without doubt, be bought
by all those who bought Red Baron II/3D. If well done with superior
gameplay, KOE will be the de facto new Red Baron. This would diminish
the value of the Red Baron name to Sierra.

2. in cooperation with Sierra Entertainment, the basics of availability
, video and OS compatibility can be solved, as well as integrating
better enhancements seamlessly within the game's shell

this scenario has the clear potential to keep the Red Baron name
before the public's eye, provide a bump in community size , and
see it stabilize over the course of a few more years.

if and when Sierra has a new Red Baron developed, they will have
an already revamped, supportable Red Baron 3D to help market the
upcoming version. If they sell their Red Baron properties, the
value is enhanced |

this introductory working document is intended to establish
a basis of discussion and agreement within the community and
potentially with Sierra Entertainment.

as such, this document should be considered preliminary and
flexible with respects to any substantive proposal, intellectual
property or business issue content.

explored herein, are the most workable and mutually beneficial
ideas culled from many great ideas expressed by the Red Baron
community over the last 6 years.
