One of the ways I'd like to promote forum traffic is to make relevant information easier and quicker to access. So inspired by Sneftel's long-ago initiative over in Cell Phones and PDAs, I'd like to solicit your suggestions on what information should appear in the new forum FAQ...
There are several existing sources of information I can draw on while drafting the FAQ, though the continued relevance/accuracy of those sources may be at issue:
- The old Scripting Languages and Mods FAQ.
- Kylotan's comprehensive List of Game Development Libraries.
- The detailed-but-woefully-incomplete *unofficial* FAQ from Alternative Game Libraries.
But I'd rather hear from you, what information do you think should be in the FAQ? Should we be going for comprehensive list of every alternative, as we have in the past, or try and provide detailed guidance on a few good/popular approaches? Should we guide people directly to each API/tool's own forums, or try and keep them here? Should we guide beginners towards particular choices, or try and force them into their own choices? If the former, then what should those particular choices be?
