In general, the goal is to not edit other peoples' areas. At the same time, we do aim to update them. You'll notice a lot of the areas have copyright bits at the start, so we typically ask authors if it is okay for us to edit their stuff.


Updating areas IS something we do. Some of them shift plots, while some of them are replaced - and it sort of depends on the proposed goals of those working on the areas at the time.

Otherwise, the more dynamic things tend to require some coding work, so those more ambitious projects can be delayed due to that. Some areas, on the other hand, are such 'staples' in CF that changing/updating them can be tricky since they fit in so well and are used so often.
