I would suggest the Board Game Designers Forum (bgdf.com), and
BoardGameGeeks.com. Also, I might mention it on the SuperDuperGames
forums; SuperDuperGames does play-by-web games, but some people might
be interested in an open, real-time system like Volity.
You might also want to crosspost this to the Geek list on Wunderland,
since that might have more people interested in development (I'm not
sure how much overlap there is between Geek and Something).

We've been occasionally posting about Volity. (Hopefully we don't
sound like preaching morons. I'm putting this on the Something list
because it's about our purposes, not Looney Labs purposes or Rabbit
purposes -- although obviously we think there is mutual support to
be had.)
Anyway:
We're currently in a "developer beta" mode: we want people to look
at Volity, and think about developing games for the Volity system.
(Currently that means "playable on the Net for free". We hope to
eventually offer the ability to charge money or subscription fees
for games, if that's the way you want to run them.)
Now, lots of game designers and programmers read this list, so this
offer is open to you. Go for it! We're cool.
However, my actual question is: where should I be posting this
announcement? I'm not on any serious game-design forums. (Except
for the text adventure newsgroups, but that's a separate matter.
Yes, I have a plan for that...) You folks are probably on more than
me. What mailing lists, web forums, newsgroups, blogs, wikis, and
so on would be interested in an open-source rapid-development
platform for net board/card games?
Thanks.
