Free Usb Device Driver For Win Ce

Wanted: Computer- und Videospiel-Experten

For a new project we are looking for motivated associates who want to help shape the future of computer and video game documentation on the Internet!

What kind of project is it?
We want to develop a new game database that captures all data from the world of computer and video games and makes available to everyone. We have the goal to design a comprehensive, complete and modern system that the problems already bestehender Projekte vermeidet und dabei innovativ und nachhaltig realisiert werden soll.

Die Welt braucht keine neue Spiele-Datenbank?!
Doch, braucht sie. Die existierenden Projekte sind unserer Meinung nach nicht geeignet, die Computer- und Videospiel-Historie umfassend und nachhaltig zu konservieren. Sie sind entweder kommerziell und damit in erster Linie dem wirtschaftlichen Erfolg untergeordnet, oder sie sind privat und damit von chronischem Ressourcenmangel geplagt und allen Höhen und Tiefen des privaten Lebens ausgesetzt. Wir wollen einen neuen Ansatz verfolgen.

Wodurch unterscheidet sich das neue System von bestehenden Projekten?
  • The professional model the system should exceed his very comprehensive and thus the data models of existing projects in scope and depth.
  • The technology will put on a modern software architecture so that the system will be long-term well-expandable and maintainable.
  • It is for everyone (with appropriate skills) should be possible to improve the system source code or expand.
  • The data of the community are freely available be made, both technically and by license.
  • The system should be multilingual - this is taken into account in the development.
  • operator of the system should not be individuals, but an organization (eg a club), to ensure that the project long-term stable and available remains.
What is the current status of the project?
We analyze the time as thoroughly as possible, all of which can be done and how to do it best. We have also begun to develop our data model and to examine other projects on their strengths and weaknesses.

How can I introduce myself?
Since our project is still relatively fresh, there are many areas where motivated people can help shape. We seek above all combatants to rethink the basis of their experience and skills to different problems and solutions design to rate it using the rest of the team.

Here are some examples:
  • development of the professional model for data on computer and video games
  • test of the professional model (development of sample scenarios and comparison with real examples)
  • analysis of other projects on the strengths and weaknesses
  • Technische Grundlagen (Programmiersprache, Entwicklungsframework)
  • Entwicklungsmodell (Infrastruktur, Kollaboration, Einbindung der Allgemeinheit)
  • Gestaltung des Dateneingabe-Prozesses und der Anwendungs-Oberfläche
  • Rechtliche Aspekte (Lizenzierung, Copyright, Jugendschutz)
  • Organisatorische Aspekte (Verein, Finanzierung)
Wenn Du Dich angesprochen fühlst und in einem oder in mehreren dieser Bereiche deine Fähigkeiten sinnvoll einsetzen kannst und vor allem willst, dann würden wir Dich gerne kennenlernen.

Wie ist der Zeitplan?
Es gibt noch keinen genauen Zeitplan. Da but we question the quality of our work on the development time, it will probably take several years until our system is "finished".

Who's been here?
So far we are a small team of two solid and two interested members. We bring a wealth of experience from different areas, and would such a project but of course not lift alone.

What should I do if I am interested?
Add an e-mail to Sebastian Eichholz (gene [at] kultpower.de) in which you refer on the following position:
  • General Information about yourself
  • your personal experience with computer and video games. What have you all owned and / or played?
  • your experience with existing databases such as games and Mobygames TheLegacy. Are there or were you involved in road or even?
  • your knowledge and skills that could help us in developing a new system. Why do you think you would be suitable? In what areas would you like to participate?
When and how do I get a definitive answer?
We first want to wait three weeks, how many answers we get, and then by the number and quality of feedback to decide who gets a commitment. In any case, all interested parties get to this point of time an e-mail with information about the further career. Current status messages we give way known to our Twitter account at http://twitter.com/spiele_db_201x .

let the games begin!

Addendum: About the project can be discussed here in the cult Power Forum !
