2006-08-05 turned commenting off to slow down the spam. You should still be able to edit pages to add your notes.
After Sam Richards' idea, the LinuxMovies mailing list now has a wiki. The wiki is operated by DrewP.
Members and friends of the group are encouraged to add information to this repository. There's a HelpPage for those who are new to wiki systems. Please make a username for yourself, and consider making an AuthorPage. Whatever you write gets a bunch more value if your readers know who you are and what your background is (even if it's small).
There are other link lists out there. Some features of this repository are:
- lots of input by film industry professionals (and the rest of the data is marked accordingly)
- names and dates on all data, so readers can do their research even faster
- it's a wiki, which should encourage more participation than plain "here's my bookmarks file" lists
More rules:
Besides indicating whether you're a pro or hobbyist, remember to specify which tools are OSS or commercial.
This isn't the place for simple "gimp is great"/"gimp sucks" postings. Reviews are to help your peers find what they're looking for and to alert people to good or bad programs or pages. Once you've added value to the repository, you can show your passion.
Sam Richards adds: The point is that before somebody goes off and spends time getting something compiled, they might have a realistic expectation of what they are going to get.
