[casual_games] Invite: Casual Game Wiki

[Dave Walls]

Hi Wade,
 
Good question.
 
I saw the IGDA wiki as a place for game developers to find out information
about making games. So the audience is the industry itself.
 
I made this Casual Game Wiki as an encyclopedia for the casual games
themselves, not about how to make them.
 
I'm going to be announcing it broader, but I thought i'd invite the IGDA
community to contribute games to it first.
 
Dave

This is an interesting project, Dave. Thanks for posting the announcement. 
 
I'm curious about something; since this is an IGDA mailing list, and the
IGDA Casual Games SIG has a wiki, I'm wondering what was the motivation for
creating a new wiki?

Hello Everyone,
 
I always thought it would be great to have a site that would compile
information about all the great casual games out there and the companies and
people that make them. 
 
So as a side project this year, I set up a new wiki dedicated to casual
games, appropriately named CasualGameWiki.
 
You can find it at: http://www.casualgamewiki.net
 
Currently, some people have been invited to add a couple of articles to it
as a test run, and now I'm happy to announce that it is more or less ready
for more people to join in and add content.
 
To help with the creation of pages, we've added some templates, so check out
the how to pages if you'd like to add content.
 
If you'd like add a game to the wiki, here is the how to:
http://www.casualgamewiki.net/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_new_game_article
 
If you'd like add a company to the wiki, here is the how to:
http://www.casualgamewiki.net/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_new_game_development
_company_page
 
If you have any questions you'd like to ask, use the community portal here:
http://www.casualgamewiki.net/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_Wiki:Community_Por
tal
 
My hope is that gradually information will be added to the site, and it will
begin to become a great resource for finding out information about games,
people and companies.
 
Cheers,
Dave
