Hey, I did get featured! Let me consider your suggestions and take another look then.

I like the idea of adding Mystery Dungeon to the chart, from reading about it it seems to be directly inspired by Rogue. However, I have a hard time seeing where I could squeeze it in.

It's certainly not my best work... I didn't get featured. You're right, I probably should have narrowed my focus. Oh well, always the next one.

If someone wants to contribute a more robust development tree (and suggest a good way to represent it) then I'm all for it.

The same goes for better examples of the open-source model. I had limited time to write the article and I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks for your feedback so far! It's kind of a struggle to write something that both newcomers can read and old hands can learn something from.

Hey developers, I just finished writing an article about the development of Crawl. Appreciate any feedback. I figure this is a niche enough community (although not for long) that you might appreciate the heads-up.
