Re: [pygame] Ongoing Development
Pygame1 is really well documented in tutorials, books, whatever. To me, it is too hard to learn something like pygame2 until its mature enough to get to the point that pygame1 already is with all of that documentation/books around to check out.

My Python is pretty sound, just not sure which version of PyGame I should be learning.

It is just a thin CTYPE shell over the SDL 2.0 library. Pygame 2 was last updated in Nov, but you can get an updated SDL DLL from the website for newer code. Yes, Pygame 2 (which really should get another name, since it not related to Pygame at all anymore) depends on SDL 2. I'm currently trimming down the SDL 2 wrapper, now that the SDL 2 API is mostly stable and hope to have finished it within the next two weeks or so (nag me regularly ;-). Cheers Marcus I hope we can bring some of this info onto the website. Maybe I'll make some wiki pages ... -- Chris Noffsinger
Re: [pygame] Update PyGame website?
If you look in the mailing list archives this just game up and was talked about at length. Someone had already created a site to replace this one and it was very good but it was not adopted. Everyone agreed that we thought it could use a change. On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 1:26 AM, Owen Rexian outrex...@gmail.com wrote: If we do build a new Pygame site, I vote for it to be written in python.

The platform it runs on seems susceptible to spam, but it would be really great if we could still collaborate and keep the website up to date. I'm not sure who controls the pygame.org website or how they feel about an update. I played around creating an updated website using WordPress: http://pygame.info/ Of course, it needs a lot of styling and more content needs to be put into it. But before I did that I thought I'd ask how people would feel about an updated web site. 1.) Am I a bad person for trying, and I should leave it alone, 2.) Don't care, 3.) You'd like a log-in and help? Paul Vincent Craven -- Chris Noffsinger

Re: [pygame] Redesigning the pygame.org website
In all seriousness, I would be at least willing to be a moderator of some sort to get the spam off the current site. I don't know who controls that but I hereby volunteer. And the efforts from before sound really great with the wiki and python based technologies they used. Forgive me for asking but I believe the key question is who decided not to implement the previous efforts and why? Or was it just unclear who had control of the change?

Re: [pygame] Redesigning the pygame.org website
I agree and don't get me wrong, its one of my favorite sites. I would also be willing to volunteer to be a moderator to get rid of the spam posts on there.
