I have followed the GBA, DS, and PSP homebrew dev scenes and they love a good competition. If you can get some sponsors to put up some nice prizes and set some ground rules, I think you would get a fantastic amount of great input. If it is all open sourced, we could use all the code as the basis for future development as well. Just some thoughts!

I suggest you go some highly-integrated software like Bitweaver (www.bitweaver.org) - such a system gives you everything in once - and most importantly, volunteers who want to contribute will only create and administer ONE account for all their Playpower-related activities. I have experience with Bitweaver and can set up the site for you.

We've really been wanting to adopt some better community tools. If you know of anyone who might be willing to help us get our social toolset up (before Etech even...), definitely let me know: derek @at playpower.org. You think we only need forums? What else do you think would help the playpower community contribute effectively? cheers, Derek Hi Kozuch,

The half-broken wikis are not going to do this though... You just need to set up working stuff, updating this blog is a good begining and setting up a simple forum for gathering more community opinion input would be an effective and easy start too. I know you have your Google Groups, but links to those are burried god knows where.

First, let me say that this all looks like an incredible project! Keep up the great work! Second, in terms of "an easy/accessible development platform," I would like to suggest building a web-based dev platform. I have seen quite a few NES emulators and several that work in a web browser (via Java or some such). What a great chance for "casual" developers to sit down and doodle with open-source game development for a cause. Also, it would be a great foundation for collaboration. So, devs in the US and any other country could meetup online and work together from the same web page while communicating via chat or video chat. It would also be a great start to doing 8-bit game development training online. Finally, I would suggest that once these "easily accessible dev tools" are in place, that you have a coding competition. I have followed the GBA, DS, and PSP homebrew dev scenes and they love a good competition. If you can get some sponsors to put up some nice prizes and set some ground rules, I think you would get a fantastic amount of great input.
