Edit | Well, I am wondering if we should have readme's be more descriptive, and have certain "general rules and format" they should follow? Basically, Readmes that are like the following:
Program Name
made by name
This file is great! I have sent it to all my friends and they think it is great so I decided to upload it here. Please download and let me know what you think at my email:
Just wondering, if yes, I would be more than willing to write up a guidelines sheet. :) |

oh, yeah, the topic...
dont you think that would take more time to check out files on calcgames? i mean, you would have to make someone dedicate their whole time to reading the submitted files' readmes. that would not only be boring, but futile. i think its a good idea, really, i mean it does make me feel insulted when i spend a whole day on my readmes, and i dl a game and it has nothing. "why did this file get uploaded?!" Do you think our upload section needs to be any slower? another question, who would read them?

Edit | Well, I read them, and it is not like ticalc.org, where we get 20+ files uploaded in a days time... I am gonna start in on this sometime today, and uploadit when finished. Because honestly, the example I posted above happens in a lot of readmes, and the file might as well not include one... |

Edit | I read them on the games that I try. And if you read my readmes... well, they're sometimes rather fun. :) |
