Torque Developer Network:

Quote:Torque Developer Network. I'm just going to talk briefly about this. A lot of people lately have been commenting on how our docs need better organization and, much to my delight, offering to improve them themselves. If that's not a dedicated community, what is?! Really, the problem isn't so much the lack of actual docs (there are many of thousands of pages!), as it is the difficulty in finding them (on the user's end) and keeping them up to date (on our and the many resource writers' end).

With so many docs, it seemed a much better idea to simply dedicate a whole website to them, rather than try to keep them "inside" the www.GarageGames.com container. And that's what TDN is all about - making a home for all the docs that our community needs, making it REALLY easy to update them, and giving everyone in our community (coders, artists, experts, novices, employees, associates, or just plain members) a better platform to do all this on.

TDN is going to take a little while to get fully going. There's a lot of content to move into it, and a learning curve for everyone involved (especially the people who are going to be involved in the day-to-day running of it!). So, we're going to make sure we do it right, that it becomes a useful resource from day one, and take the time needed to get it solid and useful before we flip the switch and make it live for everyone. I've already spent a fair chunk of my time up till now laying the groundwork, and when I get back from my vacation, we'll really start going places...
