If we go 2D, I would strongly recommend that we also use Tiled, which can handle both square and isometric map tiles. This way we can split part of the team off to do level design work and know that the levels we get will be in a format that we can read.
For the record, I'm leaning toward 2D, although as I said I'll leave the final decision for after they announce the theme. For the time being, I think we ought to plan for either contingency.
I could do that, although I suspect Reddit would be an acceptable forum. As for the voting, I'd certainly be willing to provide a venue for that. The only issue is that I suspect people would be annoying at having to register here in order to vote.
OGA is built on Drupal. I haven't opened the OGA1 source because it's all just little bits of glue here and there -- nothing that would be useful to anyone. I've already opened up some of the OGA2 code in progress, and I'll be adding more to it as I go. It's forcing me to keep my code clean and maintainable this time around, and I'm a bit less timid now about coding up new Drupal modules. :)
Note: I'm unfamiliar with markdown. Drupal has a markdown filter module, so it may be doable. No promises, though. At the moment, I think the wysiwyg editor works fine, although if you can provide a compelling reason to add markdown support, I'll consider it.
Personally, I dislike Eclipse. Java programs feel kulnky to me, and Eclipse is no exception. For my PHP development, I use a text editor (specifically Kate, from KDE) because it has transparent file access via SSH, and for C++ I use Qt Creator.
You're a man after my own heart. :)
The key, if we do that, is to use existing generation tools. 48 hours isn't going to be enough time to write them.

We'll talk about having a second team if a strong python contingent shows up.
How cross-platform is C++0x? Is there anything in it that Boost doesn't already do?
Excellent. And yes, there's still room. :)
As I said, if we get a lot of people, we can just have multiple teams. so there's really no limit.
Drupal has a pretty good HTML filter that only lets certain tags though. XSS shouldn't really be doable.

The Markdown module for Drupal 7 is in beta and hasn't been updated since November, so color me skeptical. :)

Just to chime in on this:

Maybe someone can upload them here?
