Thanks for this proposal, Brendan. You have what you need (CAB member
vote and community consensus), so please work with Eric to get it all
set up.

G'Day Folks,
I'd like to suggest creating a Games community, for a couple of reasons:
1. To list available Games for OpenSolaris, to provide website links
and installation instructions. Imagine games such as rogue, nethack, larn,
angband, zangband, ToME, freeciv, the freeware doom and quake engines,
and the various Java games that exist. We could also host a handful of
packaged games (so long as all licenses are obeyed), as well as linking
to existing packaged games (SFW/blastwave).
2. To develop new Games for OpenSolaris, and to link to documentation on
how to get started. A different role this serves is to provide a safe
learning environment for inexperienced programmers to practice
programming, and working on a project with others.
I'm prepared to help create and maintain the website for this if people
think it's a good idea. (For a while myself and another OpenSolaris
contributer have been writing a game, but more on that later)...
cheers,
Brendan Gregg
