Okay, here goes!

Idea Background: I got this idea while playing a game (Aquaria) and thinking out my world. A few random ideas were started, but I left the thoughts alone; I already had a world to create. Well, with this nice, little room Eru has created, I thought; maybe this would be fun to work on with a couple other people :)

Basic Idea: An underwater world. I noticed that not many of us have an underwater world, so I decided to play with the idea. I didn't play much, so I only know a few things about this world.
I know everything lives underwater. The "bottom" of the world is the surface of the ocean (as we would call it). While the top of the world in the "floor" of the ocean. Every day the sun "lowers" under the surface (meaning, it's outside of the water and the people can't reach it). At night, the sun rises out of sight.
The people live along the "floor" or in "plateaus" that are closer to the surface. If they want, the people can break through the surface for short times. Like we would swim underwater; they would "swim" under air.

Story Idea(s): This is where this world lacks. I have no story ideas, I only have a world idea. I, personally, love developing worlds. I could just sit around developing a world for fun in my free time, but I think it would be more fun to develop it with other people and with purpose. Anyone care to join? :D

I'm working on developing a society for my merpeople and another aquatic races but I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. Do they live on the underside of the water's surface or just on the ground underwater? Either way, aquatic cultures are fun. :D

Their houses are on the "floor" of the ocean, but they swim around like fish ;)

I'll be busy for the next week or so finishing up school, but while I'm working on that I'm hoping to start a small team. Probably 3-4 people. Someone to help me develop the world and then 1-2 people to help develop stories for the world :) (though, everyone would help with story and world development).

My confusion is then in the fact that they say the sun lowers in the morning...

Okay, imagine the world was upside-down ;) The water's the top and the air's the bottom. This is how the people view their world :)

So they still live on "the top" right? As in the ocean floor, they just named it backwards?

That is a very clever idea, Vilissë. I would love to visit that world sometime. :D
