Help Convert Module Pages to the New Module Library

Module Discussion
59

I think there’s a bit of confusion about “packages”, “projects”, etc. Perhaps @uckelman can elaborate.

Here’s how I understand it (according to a previous discussion).

The hierarchy is as follows

  • Game or Module - exactly how this is to be partioned is a bit unclear at the moment. I could be by BGG game (e.g., family of games The Russian Campaign would be three different “Games” - 1st to 3rd edition, 4th edition, and 5th edition
    • Project Each Game can have multiple projects owned by a maintainer (or group of maintainers?) and with a set of contributors. For example, The Russian Campaign (3rd edition) will have two projects - one maintained by brianconlon and another by wga.
      • Package Each Project can have multiple packages. Packages could be partioned by variations - e.g., one with a colourful counter set, another with a “classic” counter set. This is up to the project owner(s).
        • Files Each project has a single versioned file (typically a .vmod), though some projects may have multiple files (saves, logs, etc.)

Currently, the README, screenshots, and players are attached to a Game (well, technically the sole Project of a Game). Ideally, I think, each Project (if not each Package) should have its own README and possibly screenshots. Perhaps, each project should have the option to contain multiple files - for example the .vmod and associated .vlog and .vsav files, or even user guides. It seems to me that logs and saves, not to mention extensions from different projects (if not packages) mix poorly.

Anyways, that’s how I understand things - someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks.

Yours,
Christian
