For some one and a half years now, we 're tinkering around with some
people on our new and ultimate online database for computer and video
games named OReGamI (full name is "Open Registry of Game Information").
Within over 800 forum posts we've already created a large amount of the
very important data model, built the foundation for the coding with Java
and, now, are ready to take the next step: publishing our unfinished work.
Why that, you may ask? Because we want everyone of you to take part in
the complete development process of this ambitious project. This can
mean reading into our forums as often as you want, or sniffing around in
our Java code base.
And when there's something you wanna tell us regarding our ways, or
wanna comment on a certain issue, just do it! Register at the forums and
post to the public area what's bothering you. If you'd like to join us
and actively take part in the development, you should send some info
about yourself to Sebastian using gene[at]oregami.org. We're always open
for new people, be it gaming experts, programmers, designers or lawyers.
We're curious to meet you!
Some final words: We're German and in order to not introduce an
additional language barrier, we started this project using our native
language. But this is not a Sauerkraut project. It can't be, because we
wanna document the global history of video games. So, we're slowly
trying to switch to the English language whereever possible.
We started by offering the contents of our shiny new website bilingual.
Substantial information about our project crave for readers.
