I noticed it sitting there on the ftp and checked it out last night.
First off debro's submissions didn't get into the pack?
(BTW - I tried to download his, but the server replied with=20
'you don't have permission' - LOL)
Mainly though, I think it needs 'cleaned up' a bit, before the release.
I admit I was lame in how I uploaded it. I now realize that I should have
put all three unzipped folders into a directory, the release.txt into the=
ir=20
subdirectory, and then zipped that.
I propose everything be distributed into their appropriate categories:
icons, logos, sounds, and wallpapers.
I realize this was the original intention, as there were multiple=20
subdirectories of the type on the upload ftp site under pub/OpenBeos.
Either it was easier for everyone to just upload into one directory or th=
at's
just what happened - I don't know. I noted before that I tried to upload =
into=20
the sounds directory and wasn't able.
In the base of the structure could be the memberlist, but somehow feel it=
=20
more appropriate that a contributor list be included - one specific to ea=
ch=20
release. It could include a list of what the members contributed to that =
pack
next to their respective names.
In effect, this is what the structure would look like:
CDT Preview Release 1/
=09=09=09----->=09icons/
=09=09=09----->=09logos/
=09=09=09----->=09sounds/
=09=09=09----->=09wallpapers/
________________________________________________________
CDT Preview Release 1/ :
Memberlist.txt-=09(all members listed)
Releaselist.txt-=09(list of members who released materials in the pack)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
--------------------------
In the subdirectories, just put all the relevant files (no further=20
subdirectories unless needed as a seperation measure {i.e. seperate sound=
s=20
schemes}, as who contributed what is detailed in the Releaselist.txt in t=
he=20
base directory) UNZIPPED. One zip is enough, zips inside of zips looks ta=
cky=20
and is tedious.
As for what I contributed, just unzip the three zip files into the sounds=
=20
directory. Those unzipped directories should also be renamed to 'sound sc=
heme=20
1', 'sound scheme 2', and 'sound scheme 3'. Unzipped they are numbered so=
=20
that should be easy enough.
If everyone wants a seperate subdirectory I would not personally object,=20
seeing as this might also give the illusion as to more than what is actua=
lly=20
there :p However, if this is so then please give me my own subdir. as wel=
l ;)
What does everyone think about that?
