[REQ] Art repository usage
Posted: 25 Dec 2008, 13:34
Can someone take responsibility of getting all of our art into our art repository on Gitorious and also organizing the structure of the repository into something sensible and usable?
Proposal:
/concept/
/concept/artist_name/
/concept/artist_name/project/
/concept/finished_projects/
/concept/finished_projects/project/
/pixel/
/pixel/artist_name/
/pixel/artist_name/project/
/pixel/finished_projects/
/pixel/finished_projects/project/
/sfx/
/sfx/artist_name/
/sfx/artist_name/project/
/sfx/finished_projects/
/sfx/finished_project/project/
/music/
/music/artist_name/
/music/artist_name/project/
/music/finished_projects/
/music/finished_projects/project/
Yes, it is a bit redundant and produces slight overhead. We could also have /art_type/project/artist/, but:
1) In my proposed way, we would end up with cleaned up finished and approved projects.
2) It's far easier to track who did what.
3) It has a clean and simple place for random inspired pieces from outside of projects in /art_type/artist_name/random/.
4) Nothing is preventing us from having a /random/ (or if someone wants it to ironically enough to be /b/, I'm fine with that too) under /finished_projects/ too.
5) Git should allow us to intelligently move/copy/merge/mangle/whatever stuff around upon need and approval.
Should we have a dedicated person upkeeping the archive?
At least in this system all of our art contributors should be encouraged to have access to our repository.
