New General Forum Entry

[khephren]

I notice that the cool ideas forum is over run with stickies (all saying the same thing!). How about a folder for people to post where source code is? 'cos any details of source code locations suitable for the GP are getting lost at the moment.

The new folder could be called SOURCE CODE LOCATED or something,
The format could be quite simple: Name of the source program in the Topic title,
Topic description could be the web site addy, and the message could be details of what it is, what speed it needs, what resolution,/ram requirements etc.

What does everyone think?

Not that its not a great idea in theory, but it would get overly abused by non coders who havent the slightest idea about porting something, and just stumbled upon the source code to <insert high res, high spec game here> and decide they want to post it (which goes on daily here already, no need to give them a forum specifically for this).

I am sure that any programmer arround here that wants to port a game, already knows the best place they can go for source. Source Forge. You dont need an entire forum devoted to that.

Not to mention that most of us dont sit arround waiting for someone to find source code to a project to port, most of us are active on our own projects (or even ports), and dont need a bunch of people shoving source code at us trying to get a game made.

Put up some sourceforge/CVS and link to it.
