Hello,<br>It came to my attention today that we do not have a unified place where all the available demos are hosted.<br>After a quick discussion with jvprat, I bought myself an unlimited hosting package and propose that part of it <br>gets used for hosting ScummVM demos, or whatever else is needed.<br><br>I have unlimited storage and transfer, and have uploaded some GOB demos as a proof of concept<br><br>http://robertmegone.com/scummvm/ <br><br>perhaps we could pre-pend scummvm.org with 'demos' and point to this location, or find a maintainer for the demos page<br>and simply link to my page. <br><br>If you think that this is a good idea then please help by suggesting naming conventions and archive formats etc...<br>During discussion with jvprat it was decided that the current naming convention is probably too complicated(long)<br><br>something like the gameID would be better, and something to distinguish between interactive and non-interactive demos.<br>e.g urban-noninteractive.zip , urban-interactive.zip<br><br>Archive formats are another important factor. We have to consider both compression levels and availability of decompressors on various platforms.<br><br>While I have currently used *.RAR its not a particularly good format, *.7z is a good format but probably not widespread enough.<br>any thoughts on *.ZIP? since it is both widely available and pretty standard.<br><br>This will only work with input from you all, so please tell me what you think :)<br><br><br>Robert Megone (sanguinehearts)<br><br><br><br /><hr />Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/' target='_new'>Try it Now!</a></body>
