<ul>
<li><strong> </strong>Get&nbsp;games</li>
<li>Contribute</li>
<li>Develop&nbsp;games</li>
</ul>
<p>A Kitchen and Sink system to most of us, but that depends on how it is made.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Personally I want to make it easier for non-devs to contribute stuff like: sounds, 3D models and other non code stuff. Something else then SVN, git, bazaar and other similar system, which is both hard to use for most people not doing code, and a bit too official. And let's face it, they were not meant to manage the assets of&nbsp;games.</p>
<p>I would like to see a system that could handle feedback and gallery like features, and do this in a simple way. This is not what theAnicentGoat aims for at the moment, but I think it could be integrated in his Steam like&nbsp;idea.</p>
<p><strong>The idea outlined by TheAincentGoat is more about making use of the&nbsp;community</strong>.</p>
<p>Building a community that is not aimed at one specific game, that could make contribution more common. If we find the way to make it easy. There are a couple of things beside registering to a forum, learning how to use a <a title="Description link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control" target="_self">Revision Control system </a>and becoming best friends with the project lead/developer, that hinders contribution as it is now. Minimising the fear of rejection and making it easy to test ones contribution is also of&nbsp;importance.</p>
<p>All these things is already possible, but it is far from working in a good way. How to solve this is what the current discussion is about, join in at IRC freenode #freegamer or in the&nbsp;<a title="Thread at freegamer" href="http://forum.freegamedev.net/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=2172&amp;start=0&amp;S=6ee08a152f30d87562c0ebc999fd29ac" target="_self">forums</a>.</p>
