I would gladly participate, but I'm afraid I won't have much time lately as I recently been asigned to new workplace and therefore I have to learn a lot since my current job is compleetly different from previous.

Well, it depends on the "theme". If it's interesting for me I would participate.

Well since we are asking about dates, how does starting sometime next month (August) sound?
When does the next Ludum Dare take place? I don't think there is one running now is there? My twitter app isn't humming with the sounds of LD so I think we are in a safe zone, yes?
Duration; what do you guys think would be a good time-frame? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? a whole month? How fast can you guys put together a prototype that is playable and gets the basic gameplay across?
The picks idea is just to make it interesting for those that are not participating and when showing off what everyone did to highlight things that were accomplished among the whole event. Really it's mostly just dressing for interest's sake.
And well theme I would pick out something cool, interesting yet something that doesn't have to be a huge game project and could be completed in a matter of weeks for an event. It's kept secret so that everyone is "on par" when the event begins. So far no one has outright hated any of my themes so far. (That they have told me lol) And if you are not crazy about this theme, the idea is that there is another one around the corner in the next challenge that you'll probably like more.

As I have written before I probably won't have much time due to new job so dates doesn't matter much to me as I will have verrylitle time for the next few months but I'll still try to participate anywhay.
As for the duration of the challenge longer it will be easier it will be for me.
As for theme why not create some simple strategy game or maybe arcade game with larger map.
Not long ago there was discusion about making AI challenge and the main problem for making it was the fact that we would need some base game for making AI challenge.
So why not make this challenge in such a way so we actually develop a game which could then be used as base game for making AI challenge in the future?
Now we don't need to develop it in such a way so that it will use AI right from the start but in a way so that it could be easily modified/extended by adding computer AI to it.
3-4 weeks in August sounds good to me.
