-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
There are a number of projects, software, content, companies, people, rooms, ideas, bug trackers ... associated with pokersource. But it's scattered on the net. It would help me (an others, I suppose ;-) to make them more visible. I've not felt this need until now because I'm familiar with most of it and digging the relevant information does not take me too long. But I've been embarassed more than once when people ask me where they can read about pokersource, its history and its roadmap. Unless someone has a better idea, I will replace the current pokersource.info page with a wiki by the end of the week (mediawiki ? tiddlywiki ? trac ?). I will then start to add links and descriptions to the various parts (jspoker, gna, odds, outflop, packages, pok.me, debian, fedora, chat etc.) The idea is to create a reference catalog of pokersource related information. Organizing the resources is more complicated than making an inventory. I have a developer state of mind and I will therefore organize accordingly: http://pokersource.info/ in its current state is probably all I need. But a non technical person interested to get professional help to setup a poker room would prefer a more user friendly view with only high level information and no technical details as in http://outflop.me/. And a developer who tries to figure out how to contribute would want to browse https://gna.org/bugs/?group=pokersource or http://jspoker.pokersource.info/ideas.html and chat on irc.freenode.net#about the best way to get started. Also, everyone interested in pokersource need a live example of how it works. I want to be able to sit at a table with someone as in http://pokersource.eu/, watch the pok.me 3D feed at http://stream.pok.me/stream.ogg or calculate odds at http://odds.aminche.com/ . But when I'm there, I should be able to chat with the developers or post comments if I feel like it. That's useful if I'm a simple user. But also as a developer, when I've completed all the tests on the code I just wrote and integrated with other developers code. I will then try to figure out if my diff actually works as expected. In a nutshell, what I would like to assemble is a catalog of pokersource resources, organized in various ways with live demos to experience them. Because all of pokersource is Free Software, it can be copied / forked, to comment or implement new ideas. Once a visitor understands he is allowed to change what he sees, he should be able to find directions explaining how it can be done. Although the abstract process is simple to explain : copy the software/content, modify it, talk someone else into merging; the details may vary greatly. Editing a wiki article is quite different from cloning a mercurial repository. And fixing a spelling mistake involves skills that are only remotely related to fixing a lintian report from a debian package. I'd be happy to discuss about this while I'm working on the inventory of the pokersource resources.
