Hi, I'm looking for someone with authority to ask whether it's okay to put a certain project on pygame website.
I've been a PyGame advocate and developer for several years (10+ ?) ... and my pygame efforts evolved into a non-pygame project, but still using python through-and-through, except at the web-app/game level, where coding is in JavaScript. In short, the project makes kids earn internet credits for internet access. Here is the homepage: http://www.asymptopia.org/autoteach The reason I want to put it on PyGame is because I want to establish a plugin-developer community with education games. It's an entirely non-commercial, open source project. I ported my most poplular PyGame project, TuxMathScrabble, to JavaScript last year for this project, and it was pretty nice to do, given JavaScript syntax similarities to Python, i.e. JSON etc. And so I think anyone with a PyGame project could be a potential participant. Then other thing that's built-into the project is compensation for developers. I've struggled to find a workable equation whereby open source education developers could ever get paid for their efforts. Finally I have a real solution to this .... $10 subscription to parent-users, and slider interface to let parent-users distribute their subscription fees among activity plugin-developers of their choice. No middle man, no greed, no lock-in ... true open source in the original spirit of the term. Also, as with my own dual-application, TuxMathScrabble, projects developed can live an entirely free and open source life outside of this AutoTeach program. I am already working with a handful of users, developers and educators in a handful of countries. More participants only beget more participants. Anyway, maybe this post will even serve to get some interested users. This project could really make a difference, please have a look! And my question, again, was: Is it okay to put it on the PyGame website? Thanks and Greetings to All ... Charles Cossé www.asymptopia.org
