Humble PCGamingWiki Enhancement Initiative

[Andytizer 269]

Note: officially this campaign will be launching very soon, keep your eyes and ears open.

 

We are hosting a campaign with Humble Indie opinionator Cheese to complete listings for every single Humble Indie Bundle game that has been released. The full campaign information is listed on Cheese's website. Here's how to help:

 

1) Check Humble Indie Bundle for missing (red) pages, incomplete articles, and general improvement.

 

2) Refer to the Sample Article (PCGamingWiki:Sample_Article) for tips on how to layout the pages.

 

3) For questions, clarifications, progress reports, please reply here.

 

4) Check out Soeb's project progress indicator.

Things are starting to kick into gear. We've already had a handful of new pages added, and we've only just begun getting the word out :D

It's looking good so far! I'm gonna try to contribute a new page a day until we are done. Did some work on the Shatter page today: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Shatter

 

Unfortunately I'm not a Linux/Mac gamer, but I'm sure that others will be able to edit any missing information from the articles.

I'm hoping to find time during the week to flesh out all the existing pages with release date information for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Seems to be shaping up nicely today with lots of edits on Humble Bundle games.

 

I have made a start on the Binding of Isaac page which is a huge mess. I plan to go into more depth tomorrow. I can't believe it used to be a 'featured article' back when we first started.

Some good work today guys :).

Hi guys, as we move into this end stage, it would be nice to know exactly needs doing to finish the project.

 

Soeb, if you could update your progress page with a list of remaining games, we'll be able to try and finish this project up this week :).

[Andytizer 269]

Sure, I just added a list to the progress page.

 

A large number of those however is prototypes. I'm not sure whether they actually deserve separate pages. This might require a bit of discussion.

 

Sure prototype should get their own pages - but I don't think they should contribute to the 'count'. We should consider the project finished even if we don't finish off those prototype pages. Maybe we can just make stubs for all of them at the moment.

+1 for getting stubs up. I'd say that for the Double Fine prototypes, there's a better case for not including them. The Amnesia Fortnight event wasn't branded as a Humble Bundle. The Introversion prototypes however, were.

 

I think there are a few threads on the Introversion forums which cover what they can and cannot do (they've got readme files too, I think?). That said, they're not really games per se, so they're definitely in a grey area too. We're not keeping details on any of the other Humble non-game stuff, are we?

I've been meaning to post in here for a couple of weeks, but I've been so busy. It looks like we've hit our three major milestones (100% article creation, 100% per-platform release dates, and 100% porter details where applicable).

 

After chatting with soeb, we're looking at the 20th as a closing date on the initiative, after which we'll look over what we've done, and what sort of impact it's had, and hopefully put a nice report together (which I'm hoping will be interesting and encourage future focused contribution efforts in the future).
