You are of course aware that accomplishing this will require that you
don't "have a life" for the next decade or two? :-)

I, for one, look forward to seeing your design notes, but can't promise
a lot of detailed responses - my own similar lofty design goals require
a lot of my time! Personally, I'm more likely to respond to technical
issues than gameplay issues, but there are lots on this list at the
other end of the interest spectrum, too.
