Hey Nct,

> I've given the FOSDEM talk; it went well even if the game crashed on
demonstration, probably because of recent changes on Nicowar.

Ouch :S Able to reproduce with a bt?

>- fuse contributors/developers on the web site

How do you mean this? I personally think we need a way for people to easily
submit content (whether new music, bug fixes, or images), without having to
go through the mailing lists and mercurial access permissions. Something
where they can upload a zipped file of all their work (<10mb), and then the
devs could review and choose what to implement in their next merge.

>- in the web front page, instead of a pink alert message, we should put
nice direct links to binaries for common system

I've got this as well as a nice makeover for the downloads page planned.
Something similar to the download page of Wormux. It's simple, effective, no
hassle. We also need to have more packages. I can handle source tgz,
Windows, and Mandriva 2008, but I'm not going to have enough time to spend
making the scripts to create packages on others (if I've got a premade
working script though, I'll be happy to download the distro for making the
package).

I think with every release, we should at least have binaries for the latest
distros of Debian, Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Mac OSx, openSUSE, and
FreeBSD. Again, all I'd need is premade scripts, and I'll just boot into
each OS, and make the package when we are about to release.

>- making more game videos available, in particular, we could make short
videos showing some specific feature/game technique

Globulation 2's only feature atm is for screenshots, then compiling them
together into a frame by frame video. ew! Can we add some real open source
video codec to record video and sound into a compressed movie or something?
Or will we have to rely on screen recorders?

>- advertising the fosdem talk video once they are available

Planned. Will have them on the homepage for sometime. Just waiting for the
videos to be released.

>- do more fuzz all around the net

I dont think its "more" fuzz we need, rather "better" fuzz. Places we have
been advertising at are mainly the same linux users who know the game
already. We arn't getting new people. A major game magazine, television,
radio, or popular podcasts/vidcasts would be a good place to start. But it
might be best to wait till 1.0 before we do anything.

>- add development blog

Could work, but it would require more than just genixpro submitting "ive
implemented this and fixed this" ;) Plans, new code, irc discussions, etc.
Anything related to development that could really expand it! I'll set up a
trial wordpress blog later.

Regards
Kieran
