It's a good idea. The shared world project would form a part (a world) in the shared universe project. The shared universe worlds could be galaxies away from each other, with gates being mostly inactive if the world creator(s) do not want to write in influence from a gate into their world.

The license is also an important thing to discuss. The CC license Gwenthia uses would have to me a minimum for a "shared" world project to in effect be shared. Some people might have proplems giving up that much of the rights to their world, but I actually think a Creative Commons
Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported would be the best one. It allows commercial use of the work also, as long as anything released is also released under the same license. That's just one of those things we have to discuss when starting the project though.

It is a great thing and we have produced a great setting, but I would suggest that the way that that any project is set up is very very crucial. To that end I stand ready to answer questions and help with ideas.

Can you give some more info about how this was set up in the start, for Gwenthia?

Option one would need a lot of organizing and common agreement. The second will give you all the freedom you like (but a clearly bigger workload).
