GGZ Gaming Zone

The GGZ Gaming Zone Project - Developer Area
Information about developers resources and processes.

Starters
If you are new to GGZ and want to know where you can contribute, consult the contributions page. We also try to offer some Google Summer of Code projects for 2008 to extend GGZ's capabilities and use cases. If you are a game developer who is not so much interested in GGZ itself but in using the GGZ libraries for your game, consult the external games development page. There's also a legal stuff page now. And for fans of statistics, we have assembled some nice graphs.

Resources
GGZ developers use mailing lists, a bug tracker and a SVN repository for their work. If there are any questions, the ggz-dev mailing list is the right place to ask.
Please see below for some quick links. For a SVN module overview, look here. To inform yourself about the used tools and dependencies, view the tools page. The following pages are organized as subsections of the developer area.
