Gregory's Server@dee Thinking about this, and like - whose job is it, precisely, to ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen? That core infra like this has more support? Do we expect the government to do it? Corporations? Or if neither of them, (Not keen on either, personally), then who? Is someone going to go "This is my job, I will systematically review all open source projects and make note of the ones that need more support"?

 @dee Personally, I wouldn't mind taking a step back and funding an organization whose job it is to find problems like this and assemble solutions for them - find people to review all the core infra software and make sure it's supported, or assemble resources for the programmers of such, or a million other things. That's no small ask though - even just deciding what, exactly, falls within that area is quite a task. :/ @dee I've been thinking about doing something like that for my game, once I get it going - aiming to have, not just modders and map makers and streamers and the like, but a whole ecosystem of people to provide support for them as well. No an easy thing to do though, so we'll see if I can manage it. XD |
@dee Is this a job for some non-profit foundation, maybe? Or just a whole gaggle of different people, all with their own crowdfunding or whatever? :/
