FIFE's phoku has a nice little announcement and announces a nice little contest-esque:<blockquote>With this milestone we have tried to lay out a map format that in it's inner workings will not change. The above wiki article will be your (the modders) source of how it should work. Anything that does not work like described there, is a bug. So do report it. The format is limited, but ready for extending it without breaking working maps. We also tried to lay the grounds for a resource system, that hopefully enables you to create your graphics (tiles,images) and objects to use them in your maps:
* Map format
* Archetypes
There are other changes in this jewel, but here is not the place to describe them in all details; please see the roadmap for that. Note that I have written this part in the past tense, but 2007.1 is not released yet. It will be released before the end of march, if nothing bad happens.
(...)
During the development of the 2007.2 milestone a GFX contest will be held. The idea is bring the community into play: you can send in your best looking isometric graphics and the FIFE team will take a look at contributions and annouce a winner after that. We plan to use the winner's gfx to create an example map for the 2007.3/2008.0 milestone and bundle it with it. Please see this blog, the mailing list and the related wiki page for more information about the GFX Contest. </blockquote><center>
