I wasn't interested in working with WordPress.
I haven't done much with pygame.info. There didn't seem like a lot of people that wanted to contribute to it, and I didn't want it to be a one-person deal. I already have programarcadegames.com for that stuff.I've been working hard at a pygame-like library that would be good for people wanting to teach. There are a few things with pygame I don't like. Some of the function names. Some of the "here you use an object, but here you use a function" stuff going on. So pygame.info probably won't go far, and I'll work on the other library instead:Paul Vincent CravenOn Fri, Feb 26, 2016 at 6:53 PM, Sean Felipe Wolfe <ether.joe@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hey I've been poking around with Pygame lately in a classroom setting. Unfortunately the site is really starting to show its age. I actually prefer the original site + colors as I found it charming and lo-fi.Has there been much activity on the pygame.info site? I was looking for some updated download info perhaps, especially for Mac.Pygame really is a great framework for teaching basic programming in Python.--On Thu, Aug 13, 2015 at 12:25 PM, Paul Vincent Craven <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Al, I agree with your three points. Probably in that order as well. I think that Wordpress has plug-ins that will handle #2 ok, but like you said we'd need editors willing to sift through the spam.For #3 I kind of think that reddit might work ok instead.I hate to see pygame.org forked as well, but not much has happened with it lately.ÂPaul Vincent CravenOn Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 5:00 PM, Al Sweigart <al@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:-AlCan 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.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.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.)3) Forums for discussion on Pygame.The second part would require some customization (and spam control).

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.ÂA musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
