>> Like alot of general categorization, you get some exceptions. Well the categorization works with you being placed in the slot where you meet the most criteria.
>> For myself and Fantages Studios, I have some qualities, of >> the "Established", "Small", and "Individual" categories. No offense, but quickly paging through your site, I'd mark you most probably Individual or Small, as you don't seem to actually have anything available for sale. (or at least I've never seen your products in my local store, and you don't have anything available for sale on the site). Perhaps I should distinguish between SMALL and Individual (perhaps renamed Independent) by wether or not they currently have products available commercially. That way a "single guy" publisher, who does have commercial products available (and selling) would be categorized as SMALL. hmmmm. Perhaps I need a another category -- "NEW" -- Which consists of any "company" that "intends" to do great things, but currently doesn't have any products available. >> I don't plan to have any in-house work done. So you (a member or owner of this company) are not going to do any writing? Perhaps I need to reword that critera. In-House, just means that the company either has employees (not contract writers/artists) or owners that produce content to be included in a product. >> A) Rather than looking at how many products (and how they >> are distributed) <snip> >> B) their general distribution (are they in book stores, >> hobby shops, web distribution, specialty order). I was thinking of removing the # of prodct part. But, uh, is there a different between the "distributed" and "distribution" from A to B (seems like your contradicting yourself). I had intended the criteria to be B, independant of the # of products. >> how long they have been in the business hmm. But when do they become "in business" there are a lot of "in business," or so they would claim, companies that haven't published anything after being in-business for a year. Some are legitamate companies hard at work, others are people who through together a webpage, and made a bunch of announcements but never went any farther. >> product lines. hmmm, I'll have to think of an objective way to do this. Perhaps it would be better to give companies more then one specific category -- rather then trying to come up with general categories. 1) Distribution 2) Time in Business 3) Size/# of Company/Product Lines More importantly -- which would be more usefull to the average gamer? Broad Categories or Specific Categories. -- Mike _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
