We knew the old Game Tome and just heard of the new one when it was
announced on Freshmeat 2 or 3 days ago. I personally haven't had a closer
look at it yet (I don't know about the others), but the title page looked
very good.
(BTW - The link to your site in our announcement is already pointing to
gametome.linuxquake.com)

Well, the LGDC is to a great part centered around game library development,
so I think it's better to have the main coverage of that here. I don't know
much about website management etc, but what if you simply send us your code
so we can adapt it ourselves when there is time?

Hmmm, perhaps it would be good if you subscribed to our mailing list (send
an empty mail to <linuxgames-subscribe@sunsite.auc.dk>) in order to stay
informed about what's happening and to faciliate discussion with us and
others.

PS: To the LGDC people: Where do we want to place the Game Tome link -
"Examples" or "Free Projects | Games" or some completely different place?
