Game Engines

I know this is very close to the holiday but I was wondering if there was anyone from GG or any other member here that I could interview concerning a research paper I am doing. I'm currently obtaining a master's degree in Enterprise Software Architecture. My final project for this class is a 24 page research paper on 3d Game Engine Development.

Some information about the paper (this is just my brainstorming topic/subtopics)

Developing a game engine
Game engine programming
Game engine design
What makes a good game engine?
What makes a bad game engine?
Parts of the game engine

Anyways thanks in advance and happy holidays!

What format will the interview be in? E-mail? IRC? Phone?

Do you need a specific employee, such as a programmer, project lead, or tools person?

Michael,

I was thinking email but IRC or phone works. This is still in the development stage, but my thoughts were a programmer and project lead. Of course that may change to include more people as I flesh out the material.

Thanks

What's your deadline? The entire in house team is on vacation right now, so the only people probably available are myself and maybe a contractor (though it's the holidays so I can't say for sure if anyone else is available).
