Quoth Jim Purbrick: "I'd like to be able to rate the dozens of games I've played, tag them with useful information, find the games my friends liked, find games with tags matching the ones I liked, have new games similar to my favourites recommended to me when they reach a playable state and recommend Icehouse games to my friends once I've played and enjoyed them."
Jim, you can do all that already at BoardGameGeek (www.boardgamegeek.com), where 40-ish Icehouse Games are in the database. Tagging, rating, friends lists.... it's all there.
Though you've got a good idea there in somehow incorporating Web2.0 features into the Icehouse wiki. (David, you're our wiki guy, what do you think?)

Having annual competitions seems slighty archaic. I'd like to see lots of ways to rate, organise, tag and recommend games on icehousegames.org. With 200+ games in development or finished it's getting increasingly important.I'd like to be able to rate the dozens of games I've played, tag them with useful information, find the games my friends liked, find games with tags matching the ones I liked, have new games similar to my favourites recommended to me when they reach a playable state and recommend Icehouse games to my friends once I've played and enjoyed them.We need a wiki, but maybe we also need a Facebook app.Cheers,Jim
