Policy for accepting new games in gnome-games

[Andreas Røsdal <andrearo pvv ntnu no>]

The current policy for accepting new games in gnome-games is written here:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGames/Contributing

"Gnome Games is a very large package and there is neither the room for 
new games or the time to maintain them. Therefore no new games will be 
accepted into Gnome Games. However we can help you with advice on how to 
let your game make the most of GNOME technologies."

There are many reasons not to accept *any* new games. IMHO, one of the 
important reasons for this, is that if we are constantly being asked by 
people to accept "their" favorite game.  The mailing list is full of 
recent examples of people complaining that the games do not fit their 
taste etc. Any developers who have created a game which can loosely be 
considered for acceptance into gnome-games will come asking us, because 
they think inclusion into gnome-games will increase the success of their 
own game.

I therefore don't think that we should begin accepting new games, but 
rather focus on improving the current ones already in gnome-games. We 
don't have an objective way of selecting new games, or deciding which 
games to replace.
