i'd like to see a good search for existing freely available art. e.g. tagging, preview images, licensing infos, contact info to reach the authors... technically also interesting for indexing existing content repositories like freegamearts and virtual worlds wiki, worldforge? as well as scanning file-lists of cvs/svn repositories for media file extensions (textures, models, audio, ...)

• a common search for the art repositories listed here Links
• thread in unixgamedev : http://board.unixgamedev.org/index.php?topic=16.0
  • probably combined effort with that, e.g. also serving as projects/people contact database
• similar idea noted in freegamer http://freegamer.schattenkind.net/index.php?t=msg&th=310 , but that was a bit different intention, but might also be interesting.

technology ideas worth investigating

• http://www.cakephp.org/ rapid development webframework similar to ruby-on-rails
• svn list : search for mediafiles in opensource repositories
• blender batch mode / importers : automatically generate mesh previews

existing websites to consider

• http://games.kde.org/people.php
• http://www.ohloh.net
• http://freegamearts.tuxfamily.org/
• http://virtualworlds.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page virtualworlds wiki
• http://www.lowpolycoop.com/forum lowpoly coop
• http://worldforge.org/ worldforge
