Hm...I guess that A.I.-thing is a matter of personal preference. About the name though, I don't like the word "Unofficial" there. I think it's kinda included in "Community" - i.e. if it's a community-patch, it's obvious it's not from Westwood. Even more, the name sounds like there was an Official Community Patch as well.
Perhaps we should leave out the YR-version at all? Like, name what is displayed as "1.002" the "YR Community Patch #1" or similar, with "1.003" being the "YR Community Patch #2". Or modifications of your suggestion - the "Unofficial YR 1.002 Patch" or "YR 1.002 Community Patch".
Thinking about it, I don't like the term "Unofficial" in it at all. Not only because it's redundant when "Community" is there, but also because it kinda degrades it. EA abandoned RA2 and YR. There will never be another "real" patch released. So why should ours be the "unofficial" 1.002? As if there'd ever be an official 1.002! I'm therefore suggesting to use the term "Community" in favor of "Unofficial", as it makes equally clear that it's not from WW/EA, but leaves it to the user's opinion whether to take it as the "true" 1.002, or just a cool mod.
About the numbering...I don't see why we shouldn't go up to 1.003. If we make something worth being called the next step after 1.002, why only make it a sub-version of 2? Yet, that's really a minor issue - and, more than everything, something we can think about after we made a 1.002.![Wink Wink](https://forums.renegadeprojects.com/images/smilies/002.gif)
EDIT: One more thing: After we're done, we need to run a diff to compare the 1.001 rules with the 1.002 ones and release it along with the patch, so those of us who already have a mod in the works can apply the necessary changes manually. Similar to the UMP's developer kit (or whatever it's called), but also including the new countries, for example, and whatever else we'll have to add.
