Just a quick update on this:

We're still working out the details and getting things ready.  I've
received e-mails from various Mod teams and have been collecting builds.

As soon as we're ready, I'll post more information to this mailing list
and contact the individual Mod teams directly.

Thanks.

-Eric

Importance: High

We'd like to begin collecting builds from Mod teams interested in
distributing their Mod on Steam.

Players will be able to click on the icon for your Mod in the Games list
to install your Mod and then get all of the files they need.  This means
they won't need to visit a web site to download the content and install
it manually.  We will be able to release new versions of your Mod on
Steam so everyone will automatically get the updates.

Dedicated servers will also be able to get the content for your Mod.

We should be ready to start distributing Mods on Steam in the next few
weeks.  In the meantime, if you'd like to have your team's Mod included,
please put together a complete build of what you'd like to release (.zip
or .exe) and send me an e-mail with a link to the file so I can download
it and get things ready on our end.  Make sure the build you give us has
been tested with Steam.

Please also include contact information for a Mod team member for us to
communicate with if we have any questions/problems.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Eric Smith
