I'm soliciting requests for aisleriot games

["Vincent Povirk" <madewokherd+d41d gmail com>]

As Alan Horkan once said, we need more games in aisleriot. I'd like to
write some of them, and I'm wondering if there are games people would
like to see added that they're not asking for because they just don't
want to bother the programmers (or they don't know whom to ask). Well,
just in case, I'd like to make the following proposal for these
people:

-If there is a solitaire game you want added to aisleriot (nothing
that involves multiple players; I have no idea how that could work),
please send a description of the rules to a location I will name later
(I suspect there are others who, like me, would love to write games if
they knew people would play them, but I'm reluctant to name this list
as a place for requests). The description should be something you've
written rather than something copied from somewhere, and keep in mind
someone will have to convert that to the format used in aisleriot's
help.
-I or someone like me will try to get the game added in the next
cycle. I can't see it taking more than about a release cycle unless we
get a flood of requests.
-Once it's resolved where the requests should actually go, please pass
this offer along to your friends who use aisleriot.
-I would not be doing anything more useful with the time I would spend
on this. I don't even work on other parts of gnome-games. And I really
do enjoy this stuff. I want people to take me up on this. So do not
worry that you may be bothering programmers or keeping them from more
important work.

In retrospect, this reads rather like the linux driver offer except
written by a sad person who has nothing productive to do with his
time. Oh well.
