The most recent ability poll has really sparked some lively debate and interest in the impact of weather on the metagame. There is so much interest, that I think the community might want to dedicate an entire CAP project to the theme of weather. However, if we want a dedicated weather project, it does not make sense to allow Greenhouse on our current pokemon. Therefore, if we decide to do a weather project, then Greenhouse will be removed from the current ability poll and people that voted for it will need to go back and change their votes.
Like most things on the CAP project, this proposal needs to be voted on. It's a pretty simple poll. Read below for an idea of the scope of a weather project.
I am including it here so you have an idea of what I mean when I refer to a "Weather Project". If we vote for a weather project, we will open a workshop thread and decide all the particulars.

The following proposal has not been set in stone.
It is merely a suggestion of how a weather project MIGHT be structured.

I think we should make the next project a split project. We make a Red Team and a Blue Team. Any CAP member can join either team, but not both. Once you have "registered" on a team, you can't switch. The Red team makes an auto-sun poke, the Blue Team makes an auto-rain poke.
As a community, before teams are declared, we will vote on the "common" stuff, like base typing for the pokes. Perhaps Fire/Dragon and Water/Dragon. Perhaps Fire/Normal and Water/Normal. Maybe just Fire and Water. Maybe just Normal for both. I don't really care. But, we'll decide it beforehand. We'll also settle on base stat rating. We'll even decide the exact mechanics of the weather abilities (permaweather vs limited turns, etc). After that, each team goes their own way and makes their poke. We implement both on the server and "fight it out" for bragging rights.
I think it could be great fun. Everyone could get involved. It's a classic Groudon vs. Kyogre kind of thing. Fits a pokemon project perfectly. I could see it being a huge hit. The next project will do weather in a big way, and we could make it a "Create-A-Pokemon Event Spectacle".
