[Scummvm-devel] Creating demos.scummvm.org ?

[robert.megone at gmail.com]

Hello everybody,

Apologies for the slow response, I am currently away on holiday(I return tonight)

As things stand I am happy to make any changes required, though I am also not against moving the demos.

I had considered applying the ScummVM CSS/layout styles to the demo page, due to another project I have not had the time.

My hosting has been a little unreliable recently, this is nothing that a quick email exchange with the hosting company cannot fix.

I am happy to donate as much space as required or help migrate the demos to a new home.

I agree that the current setup has some issues, a general developer accessible account would be easy enough to setup.

I am more than happy to offer my services as a demo page maintainer as I am usually at my computer most of the day.

Robert
