| 188 | 2 | 1999-04-05 12:39:43 | As my Real Job permits, I'm finishing up some long-overdue changes to the Game Tome code (like complex searching, expanded categories, more record attributes), and once they're in place, I'll be thinking about what to do next. I've got some ideas, but I don't want to spend time adding features that won't get used. So I'm requesting feedback: what do <em>you</em> think happypenguin.org needs? Below are a few specific things I'm thinking about, but I'm interested in hearing all ideas anyone might have. Please <a href="mailto:bobz@mr.net">email me</a> your thoughts about the future of this site. <ul> <li>Does happypenguin.org need a messageboard, or a slashdot-style comment system, or are things fine as they are now? <li>Would a polling system that game developers could use to query happypenguin.org readers be useful? <li>Does there need to be a "help wanted" directory for Linux games projects? <li>Do you mind needing to have a user account here to do stuff like like rate games and post comments? Would you hate it if accounts became even more necessary? </ul> | Request For Feedback | default | |
