[Scummvm-devel] Demo hosting disruption

[Arnaud Boutonné]

Hi everybody,

Maybe it's a good time to discuss about (or validate) the naming conventions
used for the demos.
Robert and Travis set a really nice naming convention and imposed ZIP
format.
I'm personnally for keeping the current rules, but of course someone may
suggest something even more efficient...

Best regards,
Arnaud
