can someone post a link to the old slick? is it really still online? I thought we had redirected the old page to the wiki - and my searching is not turning it up right now... what's the URL? oh wait, never mind, found it: <http://www.icehousegames.com/SLICK.html> I added a link to the wiki - we could also just have this page auto redirect instead - what do people think? Is there ANY value in this old page? or should we just make it go away? --On July 13, 2007 Christopher Hickman <tophu@xxxxxxx> wrote:
I rewrote SLICK from the static page that it is to a dynamically generated page in the same format using PHP and a MySQL backend a year or two ago, but nobody had the time to put it up, I guess. Well, that and the wiki generally replaced SLICK... -----Original Message----- From: icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Artman Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 12:37 PM To: Icehouse List Subject: [Icehouse] SLICK v Icehousegames.org Thinking about the whole Rabbit Wiki v Icehousegames Wiki made me suddenly ask myself, "What about SLICK? Why is it still around?" * SLICK is at a Looney-maintained site, so it's as persistent as the whole company. * SLICK is not a wiki, so it's maintained internally only, by the (very busy, shorthanded) company. * Icehousegames.org has a TON more games than SLICK. * SLICK seems to have some games that are NOT on the wiki and need to be "ported" to it. * SLICK is VERY old and its game rules are probably obsolete, for games also on Icehousegame.org and being polished there but not copied back to SLICK. * SLICK could be considered a historical artifact (more so, if a link to Icehousegame.org is right at the top, clarifying that IHG.org is the actual "place to be" now). * SLICK is mentioned in older news articles--yep, that post about the BBC coverage of Icehouse reminded me of dear old dottering SLICK. But HTML *does* support the REDIRECT tag, to bounce folks straight to the IHG.org Wiki, if SLICK is completely dismantled (after porting extra games over). Thoughts, folks?
