Q&A does need to be linked to the game. I think it is best served on the forum so that the conversation is in one place. That comes back to good forum integration.

I was looking through the FOSsil Bank site and noticed they have a They note "There's no easy way to search by openness or license."

Shall we find a way to rectify this problem in 2km2kt? A check box would work, or simply mentioning in the submission guidelines to please mention your standards for sharing/fair use when sending a game. A page that explains why games should be free, and the various licensing options (copy left, CC, noncommercial, etc.) might be a nice addition as well.

Yes, this is VERY important. Although some folks might think the link is implicit, free does NOT mean open: games can either be free AND open, or free OR open. The distinction needs to made explicit, with, as CA says, an indication of the legal status of the game somewhere on the site. I'm guessing most free games are released with the intention that they be OGL or CC, but yeah, needs to be clarified.

So, crashing on, I've about it. Still searching for ideas!

My progress last night was pretty good, I got the Symfony framework up and running and tied in with Twitter's bootstrap. The next step is build a little domain model for the document uploading.

Is there a chance for a "PRINT THREAD" link?
I think it would be a nice addition for those of us that would like hardcopies of thread conversations
to review while their off line.

I've tried printing threads off before but they end up using lots of paper due to the avatars, and tags.

If it is possible just a simple print function that takes the thread removes all the sidebars
(unsure if that's the right term) and gives a horizontal line between each post, while also
keeping the poster's name & date posted at the top.

Example:
Thread Name : Hi
Rob posted on xx/xx/xx
Hello.
------
J.K posted on xx/xx/xx
Greetings.
------
CA posted on xx/xx/xx
Live Long and prosper.

That's a great idea for the forum!

+1. Brilliant idea J.K., that really annoys me about web forums too.

Duely noted. I imagine we'll end up with a "Pick One..." list and then another box that says "that doesn't quite cover it..." with explanation. The vast majority will be nice, easy licenses.
