Re: [pygame] Request for pygame new website project on GSoC
Hello,
that looks pretty good. One improvement is that you could try and put
a timeline for when you think you will do things.
Also, it would great if there were lots of unit tests.
Also a stage at the beginning where we ask people with design ideas
for the website to put them forward. Pygame has a large community of
people, some of whom are pretty good with gfx and design... so it'd
make sense to let them contribute if they want.
cheers,
