Hello, that looks pretty good. One improvement is that you could try and put a timeline for when you think you will do things.
Also, it would great if there were lots of unit tests. Also a stage at the beginning where we ask people with design ideas for the website to put them forward. Pygame has a large community of people, some of whom are pretty good with gfx and design... so it'd make sense to let them contribute if they want. cheers, 2009/3/31 orcun avsar <orc....@gmail.com>: > Hi, > Im glad you're interested in my participation.
