Transfer ownership of arewegameyet to gamedev wg
fu5ha opened this issue · 13 comments
I've created an issue on the arewegameyet repository to see if the owner would be interested in transferring ownership to this wg. The motivations for this are listed in that issue, and I'm posting this here as a tracker and to see if it's something the wg would be interested in.
I think they are not interested, and even then if they were, our charter males it hard to have a good ecosystem guide because we aren't supposed to have opinions, and opinions are at the heart of a good guide.
If so then that's fine, their prerogative for sure.
As far as the second concern, as far as I see it, it's not meant to be a guide but just a list of resources and overview of the ecosystem.
@Lokathor the repo has been transferred . Can you close this issue?
There's this repo, the hosting (atm it's on S3), and 3 domains: .com, .org, .rs.
I think the WG should get the domains and decide who from the WG pays for them now before closing this? (It was discussed briefly on discord)
Closing, since the transfer happened.
@erlend-sh @AlexEne is there a budget for the wg, or will this just have to be out of pocket expenses?

I've mentioned it before but I'll briefly mention it again in this context:
I'm passively following this WG and am cheering for all of you. I don't participate in active discussions, but if someone sets up a shared Patreon or some other ways to donate some money to the WG for these kinds of expenses, I'd be happy to chip in.
There's no budget for these.
We need to set up some sort of bucket for this kind of expenses. there's this, mailchimp, etc.
So, if anyone knows an easy way to create a pot just mention it here. Maybe patreon would be a good idea, maybe just a paypal jar I think they're called.
Anyway, I will look into alternatives in the following week and come up with a proposal.
As of now, Amazon's domain prices (in USD) are: $12/yr for .com, free transfer. $12/yr for .org, free transfer. I don't see any options for .rs distressingly, but looking at some other registrars they seem to run from $20 to $35ish. So total domain costs are like $50 a year. I'd totally just donate a couple years of costs into whatever bucket we decide on.
Information gathered from: https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/
Doing some quick WHOIS lookups, it doesn't look like there are a whole lot of options for registering .rs domains. These are the two options I've found:
https://www2.ninet.rs/en/rs-domain (29€/yr, used by https://rustup.rs)
https://www.istanco.rs/ (27€/yr, used by https://rocket.rs, https://amethyst.rs)
Yeah I meant options using AWS's registrar. Sorry for being unclear.
arewegameyet.rs is on ninet at the moment
