sourceforge like feature suggestion Thread

im sure most of you have heard oi the website sourceforge well if not you can read about if here En.wikipedia.org

SourceForge.net allows any project uniquely named in its registry to be sub-domained as Project-name.sourceforge.net or Project-name.sf.net witch you guys allread do this but take it a steep feather and do what they do and allow projects to have there website hosted on moddb.com, aslo offer project a wiki, and offersupport for a CVS or SVN if you dont now what cvs if here is what it is En.wikipedia.org and En.wikipedia.org(software) that just some of thing i like to see moddb add support for id kida like to see it kinda become the sourforge for games

This is something we have certainly thought about for a long time. At this stage we don't have these features in development (as maintaining SVN infrastructure, wiki, subdomains) for potentially thousands of projects would be extremely complex and costly to execute. However it is something we will continue to consider and if we feel we can add these features faultlessly (given their importance) we will consider this suggestion. I'm guessing it is something many of our developers would like to put to use?

iyou should put a poll up to see if any only would use any of theses features

It's been on the list of things we'd like to do for a long time, being able to support a development process from end to end including code versioning, development notes and so on.

The only issue i see is, people leave there mods to die more and more, out of 80 mods submitted to the authing queue each week or so i only get 4-5 pms back from the ones deleted or not authed (95% of the mods submitted).

So who gets a svn, how long do we keep the svn for a dead mod?

I would think you can just host an SVN on your local machine anyway if you really needed to. Or possibly if you had webspace use that .

Another question is .. how will it be financed? I mean, hardware and traffic cost money after all and Scott said in another thread ad revenue isn't enough anymore to cover the costs for moddb.
