Contents
about
the main aim is to bring artists and developers closer together and encourage contact and dialog
- a good search for existing free art (images,models,audio)
- focused on searching/linking rather than hosting
- index stuff from existing content repositories, project svn/cvs repositories and forums
- possible to manually add single/multiple links to media data
- preview images / thumbnails of textures,models,etc
- tagging
- licensing infos
- technical infos (texture resolution, mesh poly count, mesh anims...)
- contact info to reach the authors... (e.g. username + link to project forums or similar if no public email)
- focused on searching/linking rather than hosting
- a database for projects and people
- list/search artists and interests (concept drawing, model, anim, texture, 2d-art, texture, sound, music..)
- list/search developers and interests (programming languages, experience with frameworks,)
- list/search for projects using free art
- cross referencing / associations
- which people are involved in which project
- assets used in multiple projects (textures, models, sound, music,...)
organization
- team
- hagish - core
- lechuck - layout
- ghoulsblade - spiders
- forum-thread by LeChuck in unixgamedev http://board.unixgamedev.org/index.php?topic=16.0
- forum-thread by ghoulsblade in freegamer http://freegamer.schattenkind.net/index.php?t=msg&th=310 , (the original intention was a bit different, but the underlying idea to bring artists and devs closer together was the same)
- http://blog.unixgamedev.org/2007/10/new-project-search-engine-for-free.html (blogpost by LeChuck on unixgamedev.org)
database design
graphviz: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7275
at the moment this is just a sketch not a design
digraph G { artitem [shape="box"]; repository [shape="box"]; svnuser [shape="box"]; tag [shape="box"]; artist [shape="box"]; license [shape="box"]; artitem -> artist [label="0-1"]; artitem -> repository [label="1"]; artitem -> svnuser [label="0-1"]; artitem -> tag [label="*"]; repository -> license [label="*"]; repository -> svnuser [label="*"]; svnuser -> repository [label="1"]; svnuser -> artitem [label="*"]; tag -> artitem [label="*"]; artist -> artitem [label="*"]; license -> repository [label="*"]; }
technology ideas worth investigating
- we'll probably use http://www.cakephp.org/ rapid development webframework similar to ruby-on-rails
- svn list : search for (textures, models, audio, ...) in opensource project repositories svn/cvs
- blender batch mode / importers : automatically generate mesh previews
