You should read the Good Style link at the bottom of the edit page -- DavidBurke

Hey its a Wiki !!!! The new site looks interesting. I suppose I should read that help file.

No forums yet so I had to scribble here Hmmm that red "Preview" background is too overpowering

I sincerely hope this isn't going to be the way the forums are. Though I haven't seen any forums yet.

Woke up and 7AM and saw the new site... wow... what a shock to the system that was!

Congratulations to everyone!

Edit: the new forums are on the way, I've read. The forum layout on the below mentioned javadesktop.org are very nice.

Some groups have forums, http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/index.jspa I hope they add them to the game groups too.

Note that this forum is NOT in the java.net domain -- ScottWPalmer - 10 Jun 2003

This Twiki thing kinda seems dangerous to me and I'm not exactly sure how it can improve or replicate the system that was going at javagaming.org. Anyone care to enlighten me as to how newbie and expert gamers alike can use this system to ask and answer questions on a multitude of Java Gaming topics?

A Wiki is not a substitue for a forum. There must be REAL forums coming soon. Then someone will have to clean up this mess we're making

-- ScottWPalmer - 10 Jun 2003

Asking questions and getting answers (chatting like this) is the function of a regular forum.

What a Wiki is great for is accumulating and maintaining knowledge. So eventually any new java user could come to the wiki to find a list of ways to load images that can be hardware accelerated and also a list of things that would break the acceleration. If they ask on the forum its a simple matter to refer them to the wiki or provide a link. While its very difficult to search a forum and sort through many posts.

The coolest thing about having this Wiki is that no one can now honestly say they have knowledge to share and no way to share it. This makes it SOOOOOOOOO easy to write an article and post it up. All you have to do is edit...

How come some people don't show up as links and aren't listed as TWikiUsers ? Is it because their name is not in the form of a WikiWord^? (i.e. they aren't useing capital letters)?

When we registered for the main site we also had access to edit the wiki without actually registering for the wiki. So you can see my name at the top of this page is my "site" username tzan. Today I registered on the wiki so now my signature on the edit page has changed from Main.tzan to DavidBurke. Since everyone who registers for the site has wiki access already I was wondering if we should register for the wiki. I saw a few other "wiki aware" people register so I figured why not. They can always delete it later.

Also the username is altered to all lower case. I really did type in Tzan. ( Which is the name of my first character in Asheron's Call 1 in nov. 1999 )

The Sun folk are probably too busy right now to answer questions. I was very surprised to see this up before the end of Java One.

The forums are now up at http://games.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectForumView

-- Nathan - 11 Jun 2003

Anyone else having a problem getting the forums up? I registered again last night as Observer and Content Editor and I still have yet to be approved. Does it really take that long?

-- GergisKhan- 12 Jun 2003

Same for me. Sucks.

-- Herkules

Hey... colour me impressed Now the forums are back, this is going to be great!!
