Quote - > Quote - I think we need some kind of platform for developers, so that people can upload things to a central repository instead of having to email it around or host it all over the place. Why is there no Sourceforge for 3d content?
Again, this is easily accomplished via Google sites. Acadia has a Google account and I made her an administrator of my google site, so she can post her shader links there. Why she still posts them in the forum, I don't know, but it's just as trivial to edit a google site page as it is to write a forum post here. Plus you can change the attachments and embedded images on a google site page with simple button clicks. You don't have to edit HTML.
Hmm, not sure about this. You don't want a site with lots of administrators. Google Groups seems to have similar features and is probably better equipped for discussing things and sharing content.
What I'm going to do, I think, is create both a Google site and a Google group for Antonia and play around with them for a while to see which one to use for what. I imagine the site could be for such things as public downloads and promo images, and the group for sharing files and discussing technicalities between developers.
If that works well, we might add a group for Antonia users later on.
