Well, at least we know they are building a team. This kind of scares me though, 3 of the 5 positions are for level designers.. OK fine... But 2/5 are for Game Designer's (leaders of the project). Shouldn't they already have that if they have been working on it?
"Each member of the team was asked to present their ideas for what sort of new MMORPG they would like to develop that was specifically NOT WoW related"
a non-WoW related Genre would pretty much throw a D3 MMO out the window.. Either they are doing a World of STarcraft, or its a completely new Game World...
Also, all those "Top Secret" postings are probably for this game.

Another approach to look at this is via analogies and similarities. Starcraft2 was supposedly codenamed Medusa. And now Diablo III is supposedly codenamed Hydra. Assuming Blizzard was being as crafty with the codename Medusa as it is with Hydra, we should try to solve the puzzle of what Medusa had to do with SC2, then use that key/guide to see if that leads us to what Hydra has to do with Diablo 3.
For instance. With Hydra supposedly being in relation to greek lore/astronomical ideas/numerology. Maybe the same key lies behind the Medusa code name. If we can figure out how Blizzard came up with Medusa (besides the fact that it looks like Kerrigan) then maybe we can link that to how they derived Hydra for Diablo III...
I Know I will probably get flamed for this because this my first Post (noob, loser, etc) but I just came across this board because I was hoping to strike gold and find something on Diablo 3. I am jsut like the rest of you in that we are all anxious and can't wait for another installment in our beloved world of Diablo.
Anyways, I have read all 220 posts of this thread and I do want to chime in and say that General Ryan, Hoax or not, has grabbed all of our attentions. Now it would be nice to hear from the mods whether they got some information or not, but whether they release it should be a whole other story.
Heres to hoping that the Ryan speaks some truth and the mods can confirm that we will see a diablo 3.

D3 and WoW are similar concepts.. Get a Sword... Get some Magic, use some spells... It would be in similar settings.
