I find the page very messy, and I feel like organizing it a little, but will ask for input first.

We should seperate the Atlantis history and make a separate History section for the Atlantis code base. In general, the code and the actual games and variants using it should be separated more clearly.
Why is there no link to http://www.atlantis-pbem.org/?
There is no mention of Atlantis 5.0, instead 4.0.10 is advertised as the current version. Isn't that wrong?
I think that listing maintainers is okay, but sn't Jan Rietema the current maintainer?
Should this page contain links to running games? I know it's tempting to get your game advertisement here, but think that kind of information doesn't belong into an encyclopedia, and is already well covered by Greg Lindahl's site.
There are a number of derivative games that are significantly different from Atlanis, as well as reimplementations, that still trace their original roots to Atlantis. I would suggest we give them an extra section.
Graphical clients should get a separate section.

Enno

Maybe we should even rename the Page. Like Enno said, there are more games related to Atlantis in their code-base (ancestors and descendants), but not Named Atlantis and with a separated code-base. Olympia and Erresea for example (Tarmelion and Wyred I count as Atlantis games, since they still have the same code-base). And I think we should put our heads together to create this page with all the colourful history of this game (code history and playing history wise). But we would need a significant name...

Version 5.0 should be mentioned, that's right, I think the page hasn't been updated regarding the available code-base for a long time :) Even 4.0.10 has quite a lot subversions...
