While I know that there are thousands of things to complete or to fix, I can't stop adding new features that I feel useful, so here it is: Events!
The basic idea is to show how games are related (not strictly related) events.
Some examples:
- How are related Olympics video games to the real Olympic games?
- How many years we had to wait before a "The Simpson" game was released since the fists air date?
- Bat-Man games are only released along movies?
(This works well for any licensed group, but I'm sure you will find some more unusual usage of this!)
For testing purposes I filled some Dragonball events.
(I'd like to find the event that started the new dragonbball-mania since 2002 too!)
Basically we relate a date (along with a description) to a tag. So simple.
Something similar could be done to record companies events (sold, bankrupt, etc.), platforms and games release dates too (with an additional country field).
Please note, you can't add dates for now, the input interface is not yet ready.
Synonyms
posted 4 months and 7 days ago
I've started working around the synonyms system.
At first this will be useful when adding new tags (with automatic replacement) and when searching, eventually proposing alternatives ("did toy mean..." google-like).
Naturally we'll have an interface to add/manage synonyms, but for now I'm working on the core routines, so I wanted build a short list to work with.
For a start, is someone willing to post here a brief list of his most needed synonyms?
This is to see how data should be stored, apply eventual categories ans such...
Company editing
posted 5 months and 11 days ago
It's almost ready the interface to edit and add companies.
Looking at the Sanguine lists, there are new fields to be added:
- Founded (date)
- Function (multiple values. what are the possible values?)
- Formerly/closed/etc (just use the description field for now, I'm planning to implement something that could be named "events" that should handle things like this, beside game release dates, hardware release dates and anything else)
Is there something else missing?
In support of our incredibly brave friends in Burma: May all the people around the world wear a red shirt on Friday, September 28.

Just my 2 € cents...
