<em style="background-color:#ffffff; color:#353c41; font-size:14px; text-align:start">What should the set be named?</em>
Please someone come up with a better name than CC2LPx. H2O is pretty good at naming sets.
How many levels?
I like 150. I felt the CC2 main game was too long, and a community pack will probably be more difficult in terms of abstract puzzle solving.
Allow levels with CC1 boot rules?
No.
Consistent viewport size (9x9 or 10x10)?
10x10 for everything. CC2 maps are large enough to accommodate the larger viewport, and level sections like the end Oasis from CCLP4 could be redesigned since there is no 32x32 map size limit.
Map size limit? Namely, should the 40x40 limit from the CC2 main game be retained?
No. Map size does not have a 100% correlation to level length, and overly long levels will be weeded out by the voting process anyway.
Should any tiles or techniques be banned?
If there is a level that requires block slapping, there should be a tutorial involving it. I would be okay with most "glitches" as long as they're self-evident and don't cause the game to crash. So all sections in Great Job CC2 except for the bowling ball on turtle glitch, monster key inventory overflow, and force floor block climbing glitch would be fine by me, but I do not intend to submit those levels for pack consideration in their current form.
For tiles, I approve of zero-directional blocks and blank no signs. I would probably ban empty railroad tracks and voodoo tiles because they seemingly have no use except for deception, except for the solid pink and solid blue tiles as they could probably have some good aesthetic use.
Any other standards that should be set in place?
RNG setting and hide logic should be chosen by the designer, even though I personally dislike the current implementation of hide logic. Music tracks should have the same cycle as the CC2 main game. Submitted levels should require solutions. Bonus flags should be able to be used in any way they wish.

You should probably be playing CC2LP1.
