Online services for mod collaboraton?

Hmm. Would there be some way to post the stock data files on there so people could edit them directly? And is there a way to dowload and upload them quickly as txt files?

Yes, you can zip them and upload them to SE.net.

hmm... there are extensions for downloading an acticle as a pdf or as a latex file, so text is certainly possible.

You can "upload" one by pasting the contents into an article, though that might make for some mighty large articles if it gets big...

I could also enable zip file uploads to the Wiki, which would be simpler, but wouldn't necessarily allow you to view or edit the files online.

I was thinking we could create an entry for each data file in the collaborative mod project and leave it open for a month or so, so people could post and components or tech ideas they have, even if they don't feel like creating an entire mod.

Then, after the month or so is over, we could close it up while an editing team (or person) goes in there and edits everything together so it works.

Then we open it up again so people can test it.
