Glest Community Development Monthly - Issue 27

[hailstone]

Welcome to the twenty-seventh issue of Glest Community Development. Below you will find events I have recorded over the last month from the forum (usually for things that can be downloaded or a screenshot of progress), GAE SVN, mailing list and bug tracker. Thanks go to the people who have been busy improving Glest with patches, mods and providing support.

NOTE: the dates are only approximations. Please post any corrections, suggestions, or additions.

The next issue is scheduled for 11 April 2010.

General Announcements:
- Titi and Omega given administrator privileges on forum

How bout my question post? It should be added to the list...or not.  https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=5107.0 
Since it leaded to lots of improvements/changes... 

Otherwise the list is good. 

[hailstone]

Probably not. I usually only include pieces of work (or evidence of work) that directly contribute to the game or tools. This would include: programming (game, engine or tools) and modding (maps, xml, language files, lua scripts, etc), screenshots of progress, maybe tech tree diagram, some technical discussions, sometimes manuals/documentation. This does not include: fan art/videos/etc, discussions, ideas, non-Glest related. This is more of a guideline for me though. You can always link to other stuff in a reply (preferably in the same format I use) if you think it's important then I can add it to the first post if I want/feel like it.

I see. I agree too. 
Thanks for replying.
