| |
| − | * Game Statistics can be linked from Game Industry. Shaders can be linked from Game Technology and from Presentation.
| |
| − | * Adam is interested in revamping [[http://www.ericchadwick.com/portfolio/glossary/|the old glossary]] that I shared on polycount back in 2001 or so, the idea is we could add links in our pages to standard definitions.
| |
| − | * Not sure where we would include any game-specific tutorials. For now, we could link to them from '''History of Polycount''', but eventually we may need a dedicated section (not really a Discipline or a Tech).

| − | * Glossary looks great, seems like a perfect solution.
| |
| − | * added Game Engines category under technology. This seems perfectly reasonable to me, what do you think?

| |
| − | * Game Engines category is great. I'm a little hesitant, since it's like the Tools page... the data will be changing rapidly, so a wiki page will be out-of-date a lot of the time, unless it's meticulously updated.
| |
| − | * Some of the Glossary is wrong (I've learned a lot since then!). So I'm thinking we should move them into the wiki piecemeal, updating them as we go. Also the Glossary pages should probably be both Subpages of the Glossary landing page, and should be in CategoryGlossary too.
| |
| − | * I would like to start renaming the page titles to WikiName format, since that's so much easier to link to. Better to do this sooner than later. I guess we should also update all the links that point to a renamed page... renaming a page creates an automatic redirect, but I don't think a redirect preserves anchors, so links with anchors in them will be broken/incomplete.
| |
| − | * Looks good Carlos, thanks for the ideas!
