I'm surprised no mention was made of World Forge. It's a project to do exactly what Jon described.

Our vision is to foster an independent community in which many free games can develop and evolve with unique roleplaying-oriented worlds and rules, running on a wide selection of server and client implementations with a standard networking protocol tying everything together.

Our core focus is the construction of a complete system with all the tools, technology, content and artwork required to build complex persistent online virtual worlds.

OK, I'll admit it: I had a different, not entirely correct picture in my mind of what WorldForge is up to. Guess I need to read the LWN Development page a little more carefully. Yes, WorldForge should certainly have been listed there; maybe I'll have to take a closer look at it for a separate article.
