Re: [pygame] New pygame.org website



I don't know if this will help but I can make easy to use installers which can also be used to extract files. You could put them up on the website and then they could be used to download projects or pygame itself. Let me know if you want me to give you an example, and I hope this can be found useful.

Hi all,

I know several people on this mailing list have proposed overhauling the Pygame website in the past. Now's your chance!

The current Pygame website contains outdated information, relies on a (not so) secret sign up link for people who want to submit games, and as we can't currently contact René, we don't have access to change it. Peter Shinners, who registered the pygame.org domain, is on board with building a new site and making it pygame.org.

The first steps are assembling a team of people who're interested in working on the website, and working out what technologies we'll use for the new site. I think the best way to tackle it is as two separate components: the static information and the game feed. I've copied in more details about what I think we need at the bottom of this email.

If you're interested in helping to build this, or you have ideas about how best to do it, please reply to this email!

Thanks,
Thomas

General info:

  • Designs, mockups and prototypes are welcome, but please don’t spend a lot of time building anything yet; we might go for another option.

  • Assembling a team to build and maintain the site is an important part of this. An average architecture with several people happy to maintain it is better than a genius architecture with one quarrelsome maintainer.

  • I’d like to preserve the informal, playful feel of the old green & yellow site, so bright colours and cartoonish graphics are acceptable (but not required, if you want to go a different way).


Part 1: Information

  • Information about the project, how to install it, links to documentation & support forums, etc. Including content from the wiki on the old site. (Craven: Based on analytics fo
