[PIGMI] Game show case on letsmakegames.org

[Nick Lowe]

Hi Doug,

We're "relaunching" Let's Make Games in April, and a major part of that
is a revamp of the website.

During our March meeting, we will migrate all of the games (and company)
entries to the new website. These will probably be in a wiki format (so
that people can add/edit their own entries), but possibly something else
(maybe customised online forms or library software).

A big determining factor on the scope of the website will be whether we
get funding this year - we can only do so much as a volunteer-only
organisation! :P

We're hoping that ScreenWest will include support for the local games
industry as part of their future strategic plans (be sure to come to the
workshop this Friday to let them know how you feel!).

So yeah. We're thinking along the same lines. It's just a matter of time
and money. ;)

- Nick
