[casual_games] marketing for studios

[Austin Haas]

I am thinking that we could add a Publishers and a Vendors section to 
the wiki. There doesn't seem to be any content for Casual Games right now.

http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Does anyone have any objections or know if this should go or exists 
elsewhere?

There is a list of publishers linked from the Online Games page, but it 
looks to be more AAA game companies than Casual or Online.

I am on an OS_Flash wiki that has a Who's Who like this, and it's great 
that anyone can just go add their name and homepage links to the list.
