As you may or may not be aware, my 'Alternative Game Libraries' forum and Kylotan's 'Scripting Languages and Mods' forum, were recently merged to form this new 'APIs and Tools' forum, at our request. The merger was largely for organisational purposes, since there was always a good deal of overlap in the purpose of the two forums, but both forums were also pretty low traffic - and we'd like to remedy that, in so far as we can.
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:
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?
