    One can likely learn quite a bit from the resources over at WorldForge
    and NeL. WorldForge has mailing lists, forums and a wiki, but their
    core dev team members seem most fond of IRC as a communication medium.
    NeL has a forum, a few dev blogs and a wiki. Both are Open Source
    projects so the code and documentation is also available for perusal.
    WorldForge aims to create a complete framework for MMO building
    (server/client/libraries/tools) as well as a series of Proof of
    Concept games. NeL is the Open Source project behind the server that
    runs Saga of Ryzom.

    To be honest, I think you'll have a hard time getting people currently
    involved in commercial development engaged in a concrete technical
    discussion about framework design since an open discussion about such
    details may compromise both their company's competitive advantages and
    open them up to potential exploits from their user base.
