[ilugd] ``Best of ILUGD''
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Just thinking out aloud here... I'm not much of a gamer, but I still find the current discussion on gaming on the list fascinating. Tons of points of view and lots of interesting information coming up every day. Gaming isn't an isolated example -- the thread on performance and processors is equally interesting. I hate to think that all this information (and all these opinions) will get lost in the general mailing list archiving in a while, and only be available to searches and nowhere else. So... Would someone like to create and maintain a ``Best of ILUGD mailing list'' page on the Wiki (wiki.linux-delhi.org)? It can be something you do in your spare time, and it need not be limited to one person -- since it's a Wiki you can have multiple contributors. I was envisaging something like a single page with, e.g. headlines and short text for each interesting thread on the mailing list. New thread summaries would be added at the top of the page. Clicking on the headline would get you to the discussion (edited, with attributes), with the interesting stuff available and the cruft (quoted text, irrelevant text, etc.) removed. Note that this is editorial work -- just concatenating all the messages and pasting them into a Wiki page won't help. You'd need to take qualitative decisions on which parts of which posts to include. If done properly, I believe that the page could become a useful and interesting resource for the FOSS community. I've started a prototype page at http://wiki.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/BestOfILUGD with a rather bad attempt at summarising the Firefox key behaviour thread. I'm sure the creative people on this list can do a much better job than I for other interesting threads.

Re: [ilugd] [Gaming] Open source FPS games
[...] he lamented the heavy publisher resistance the studio encountered during attempts to bring Stubbs the Zombie (PC, Xbox) to the market. Though the subject of zombies proved successful, publishers failed to see the appeal in actually playing as a zombie. What if instead of you being a zombie, Wideload was told, you were a big giant dude with guns who killed the zombies. The moral of the story is indie game developers are guys who let you be a zombie, Seropian concluded from the experience. So if you want to kill the zombies, you're probably a publisher. If you want to be a zombie, you're one of us. That's what I think an independent developer is. lol... rings so many bells :P nice article.. but i still dont understand the business model akin to prostitution... damn! i never udnerstood teh prostitution biz model, anyway :P hmmm... this is what me belies too... indie ppl will bring the innovation in the market... publishers mostly end up profiteering from a set forumla...
