Old dicussions:
A list by genre would be nice too :)

[edit] Featured Article
How often is the featured article updated?--Imaginationac 05:53, 2 April 2008 (CEST)
- Usually once a week, but the site managers, admins etc. have been very unactive lately...-- john 10:50, 2 April 2008 (CEST)
[edit] Featured Article name
Shouldn't the name be changed from "OpenAnno" to "Unknown Horizons"? --frab26 14:07, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Writing style
The style is at the moment very factual. E.g. It is ___. It is _____. Could this be changed to something slightly easier to read? Just a suggestion. - JohnJ 21:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Recent News
The most recent news is from 2009. Would it be a good idea to post another announcement so that the site doesn't look dead?
[edit] Merge LGWiki and FDGWiki
See Subject. WOuldn'T it be Good to merge these two Wikis? You have the same goal, the same content, you list each other as "friends". And most important: both seem close to be dead.
Merging both Wikis would bring more life back into both projects. --87.178.116.35 10:09, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
[edit] 3D hardware acceleration requirement
Many games absolutely require hardware acceleration. This is a problem in the free world since hardware vendors don't provide enough details for the writers of free drivers. If you have an Intel video card, you're lucky. If not, then not so much AFAIK. Other games run just fine without 3D. Thus, I think that it would make alot of sense to add 3D requirement Yes/No to the Gameinfo template. GNUbie 07:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- There is an old page “Games Compatibility”. --176.14.90.180 11:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. GNUbie 16:07, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Nonfree operating systems
Do we care? Should those be mentioned? I think running free games on proprietary operating systems makes little sense and thus those should be omitted. What do you think and is there a policy? GNUbie 07:08, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- AFAIK, there is no policy.
- What about non-free drivers? What about binary-only firmware released under a permissive license? What about Debian, which has a “non-free” repository?
- IMHO, running free games on proprietary systems does makes sense, even if maybe (by the “non-functional content” distinction) not as much as running proprietary games on free systems. That helps one learn that free content exists or makes sense; note also that some free games are originally developed at least partially on proprietary systems. To only advertise free content to those already using free content requires that something is chosen as the primary layer of free content that does not require other free content?
