Is no Gnus good Gnus, if your aim is the extinction of Gnus?

Who gnu it would come to this? Well, now that they're gone, do you you contact a gnu's spirit via a gnuance?

I have hear so many crazy stories about humans being married to their pets that I would believe it...
And, this AGT girl a couple years back, the ventriloquist, one of her punch lines was asking that lady in the jury, "But you were married to a Seal, weren't you?"

Reminds me of this... It's KSS'ness highly depends on your KS:
A vacationing penguin is driving his car through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.
After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No no," the penguin replies, "it's just ice cream."

What would Stallman have to say about that?

This is fake gnus!

If no gnus are good gnus then all gnus are evil gnus - which makes extinction a logical choice!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Many years ago I developed a space exploration/resource management/transport management game. It is similar to several games already in existence but I wrote it back before they all existed (I started it in 1990). I ported it to an email game then web-based. I recently wrote a WinForms version that could be used instead of, or alongside, the web interface with more local what-if capabilities - and a faster response. I have been thinking about making it an article but some of the code is so ancient and clunky (translated from Rexx) that I am embarrassed to share it. However, I have written a fairly comprehensive help document of how it should work and was thinking of setting up a collaborative project to refactor it. It is currently written in C# (ported from the original Rexx) and using ASP.NET, JavaScript, jQuery, and SVG (for graphical/interactive space maps, etc). It's fairly crudely written having been originally designed for an IBM VM mainframe system. Recently I have used it to become proficient with SVG (and jQuery support). There is no database, I used text and XML files to store all the data - I am a skinflint and my ISP charges too much for SQL. Plus I load it all into memory at start-up so the files are just to store and retrieve the state of everything (I have that part working pretty well).
Do we have/could we create this facility on CP? - Probably not.
Can I take the criticism? - Probably not.
Any suggestions on how to go about it?
Note: This just for fun and will never be commercial.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks OG, I didn't know that existed.
Hmmm... However, having looked at that it seems a little bit too much like "codez pleez" and/or a little too commercially driven and under-exposed.
I am going to take up Sander's suggestion and put it in GitHub and invite people to help personally.

That's half the problem with it, not many do!
Do both: spread the love around.

Host it in a (private) GitHub / Azure DevOps / GitLab repository and see who wants to join you on this quest 
You can ask here and invite people who want to join to your project.
You can use email and/or Skype/Zoom and GitHub issues.

Thanks Sander. A good suggestion that I will probably follow.
