I think the same, I was the one putting the Future of 
http//games.kde.org/ on agenda, but unfortunately I wasn't able to take 
part in the discussion.

I guess the questions Dmitry is asking are also related to the future of 
KDE Games website.

I agree that there should be some standard file in the source package 
where people can look in if they would like to find out how to 
contribute to the game development and what are all the possible jobs 
one can do. Maybe all KDE apps should have the same file, like 
CONTRIBUTE or something.

Another place where the same information should be collected is the new 
KDE TechBase currently at http://developernew.kde.org/
That's also where all the stuff from the current http//games.kde.org/ 
and are related to developing should be at home. This also includes 
creating themes, graphics and audio for games. I guess the best place 
would be somewhere below http://developernew.kde.org/Projects

As for http//games.kde.org/ I think it should be transformed to 
something like http://www.kde-apps.org/ and http://www.kde-look.org/

Where all the games that use KDE/Qt technologies would be listed and 
there would also be a section with news about the KDE games and 
development of them. Of course there should also be a visible link or 
page on the same site that would explain to interested people how to 
help and then point them at the KDE TechBase Wiki section for games 
development.

If I remember correctly I was talking about the future of the website 
also on IRC with ingwa (I'm not sure if it was him) and he also had some 
ideas about it.

BTW, does anyone know if current maintainers (Martin and Andreas) of 
http//games.kde.org/ are subscribed to this list? It would be great if 
they would also know about the discussion and plans and would give their 
opinions. I guess it is best if I CC them both.
