Some are perhaps a little misplaced, but I quite like the idea. Some iterative refinement may be necessary, I'd encourage the author to work with them a bit more. But it does bring a good point that has been voiced previously, there is no common branding of the FlightGear name, this is perhaps quite OK, but conversely a style guide may be useful to folks who are outside the core development team and thinking of things like aircraft splash screens.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] An important message for mirror maintainers
Maybe using torrents could help in distributing flightgear packages? I haven't used this distribution method myself but the mirror maintainers could maybe create seeds and announce them though the flightgear web site(s).

I am hopefully that as many of our mirror maintainers as possible can get their mirroring source adjusted quickly to help distribute the load of the upcoming v2.0.0 release across as many servers as possible.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] An important message for mirror maintainers
Torrent will not work as well as FTP or rsync mirrors. You have to update the .torrent files. I'm not sure how that works though.

I see, so it's his distinct, private adventure, not part of The FlightGear Project. Right ? And the copyright belongs to Gerard I assume. We really can't use someone else's pictures of a model which doesn't form part of FG, and which has a different licence (Creative Commons). Surely we have enough pictures of models which do form part of our project, and for which we do have copyright? If we don't I'm sure we can soon rustle some up. Vivian This might not be known to everybody, but the defacto policy is that all promotial materials for FlightGear should only contain material that is part of the official FlightGear repository. In essence, this means that when it's in CVS, It's okay. The beauty of having one repository (be it centralized, as with current CVS, or decentalized, should we switch to something like GIT in the future) is that we can all work collaboratively towards building the best FlightSimulator ever. As long as the submitted material adheres to the GPL licence, there is no principle limit as to what can go into CVS, with a few exceptions. These being 1) world scenery. The world scenery is currently maintained as a separate project, and contributions for this can be submitted there. 2) Liveries. There's been some discussion about adding multiple liveries of various aircraft to CVS, and it's currently been left up to the individual aircraft developers decide what to include. Because the possible number of varieties in livery are seemingly endless, there has been some concern that excessive amounts of liveries may bring CVS to it's knees. For this reason, a separate (more or less officially sanctified) livery repository has been set up. For these reasons, in my original batch of promotional screen shots (http://www.xs4all.nl/~dtalsma/fgfs2.0/), I've been very careful to use only aircraft that are included in CVS. I realize that this might not have been widely known, therefore, I would just take this opportunity to remind everybody. I nevertheless appreciate the offer of the additional screen shots. As follows from this, I have to add that I'm not too excited about all the invidual hangars, and scenery repository sites (such as unitedfreeworld) that I'm seeing spring to life right now. I do realize that these sites serve their purpose as a temporary storage for material that needs further refinement, and also accept the fact that some materials simply cannot be added to cvs due to the fact that original materials were incompatible with the GPL, but apart from these cases, I do believe that it should be encouraged that eligible materials go into CVS.
