Re: [pygame] Pygame site

[Al Sweigart <al@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been thinking about doing a project like this for a while too. What I'd like to see on it is something similar to scratch.mit.edu:

1) Up to date documentation, downloads, and news posts. (Basic web content easily handled by Wordpress.)

2) A gallery of Pygame games that people have made and can upload on (and comment on), with links to git/hg repos. Something to help facilitate code reviews.

3) Forums for discussion on Pygame.

The second part would require some customization (and spam control).

Can someone say what's up with the current pygame.org website? Ideally, just fixing up the old site would be great, rather than a fork.

How about a wiki-style website ? (with a forum of course!). I don't have enough time to contribute to a full website project, but I'm sure lot of people could easily cooperate on little sections of a wiki-style website (putting correct tutorials, tips etc...)

Having used a wiki with Ren'Py and abandoned it, it's usually a bad idea. If you can't find people to contribute now, you're unlikely to find people to contribute to the wiki. At the same time, wikis wind up having a large ongoing cost when it comes to account approval, spam protection, etc.Â
