Re: [isugamedev-devel] Keyboard input

time for my take: ^_^

we're trying to provide lots of different ways for club members to 
communicate with each other so that we can all help each other learn to 
make games. i feel that the more ways we can communicate with each other 
the better.

so if you want to use IRC, great! just keep a log of the discussion and 
post it on the web site so other members can learn from the discussion.

if you like having the information come to you via email, then talk over 
the email mailing lists.

i'm working on evaluating a postnuke forums plugin for our web site and we 
should have forums by the end of the weekend. if that's the way you like 
your pie, use that.

if you prefer the wiki, then use the wiki (although it's not as good as 
the others in terms of answering questions expediently).

bascially what i'm trying to say is use whatever method works best for 
you. remember that you can also setup your subscription to the mailing 
lists as a digest, so you only get one email once in a while with all the 
messages since the last digest. if you're unhappy about the amount of 
traffic on the list, but still want to be on the list, this could help end 
your woes.

personally, i am an email sort of guy. i'm lazy and don't want to have to 
go check for new information. i must say though that over the last week or 
so, i've been very excited by the amount and way we as members have been 
helping each other learn to make the games we want to play.

cheers,
