He has a point. I understand there are different ways to manage open source. If we're going to do a benevolent dictatorship, that's OK, or even benevolent Illuminati. But I would kind of like to know what's going on. Stan supposedly stepped down a year ago, yet in the meantime we've decided to move to Gittea. The migration was a good idea and love it, but who made the decision? What's going on? If what Norse_Harold says is true, why does a single dev get to make a decision by himself? And maybe he does have a shadowy Illuminati who gave him their blessing, but who are they? The only was open source projects work is through transparency and community. I think it's very unfair to expect contributors to help row the ship (0 A.D.) if they don't know who's steering the thing. I don't have any idea what's going on with moderation, though I do applaud you, @Norse_Harold, for what you've done. One of the hardest things I can imagine doing is take something you thought fun (0 A.D.) and turn it into a job (moderating). Thank you for your work.

That's fair, I get that.

You have no idea how excited that is to me. Of course, we're not 100% done (only half the civilizations about), but the stuff we have is in my opinion shippable and things like images and art can be added as we go on.

Hmm, to be honest, I think both are alright as they are right now, but yes, there might still be some more room for improvements. I will note down your suggestions for now; I plan to make another tips-related PR eventually anyway. @Vantha, "huge tracks of land" is a reference from Monty Python's Holy Grail, which is why @Gurken Khan suggested it. It's up to you, but it's a one word change for a reference that's actually if you watch the show.

Well, I assume we need to do this: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do Then make me, and a few other people as maintainers, at least someone else (just in case I go evil someone can stop me). I would then make sure I understand how the flatpak works, fix the OP's errors, and then we just need flatpak verified. https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/verification Then we'd be good. We can mark flatpak as not as high supported as binaries, just getting it verified would be nice.

I think Flatpak requires you to use GitHub for the manifest it has to be in the flatpak organization for it to work, I think (https://github.com/flathub/com.play0ad.zeroad) But yeah, I'm willing to help maintain it. If we can get control of it and get it officially verified in flatpak. Some distro's like Linux Mint now by default only show verified flatpak apps for flathub. But yeah, I might have to learn some things, but you can count me as a flatpak maintainer I'm already helping to maintain this guy: https://flathub.org/apps/org.feichtmeier.Musicpod

Flatpak maintainer here (not of 0 A.D. but other app) Don't worry about it, the app should still work, it just means the 0 A.D. flatpak runtimes should be updated to a new version. Yeah, don't do that. It's not a flatpak issue. They're just depreciating something. It would be a problem with the flatpak manifest if anything I'm also going to use this and get on my Soapbox, Wildfire Games, take control of the 0 A.D. flatpak, people use Flatpak a lot, (some systems now even only do flatpak), and we might as well give it official support. Wildfire Games takes over the flatpak, I'll be more than happy to help set up maintenance of it and if people don't want top deal with another build system I should be able to tell it to just steal the snap package and turn it into the flatpak. (Though I still don't understand why we support snap and not the wider used flatpak)

That’s how I see things. Although indulge me a brief moment of fantasy— I’d love to get the articles verified and reviewed by historians so we know completely for sure that things are true, id hate to have something I wrote spread misinformation

We can just have a list of sources in a readme file if that’s easier, I just want sources somewhere people can find. Maybe in credits too? It’d make in game credits very long

Yes, except I'm going to well actually you. At least in America APA is for psychology and other social sciences, History uses the Chicogo style:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicago_Manual_of_Style Being an English snob, I'd prefer to use the "right" way, mostly for fun.

Do you think it would be possible to connect the sources directly to the articles somehow ? I don’t know how but i know if i was a player interested in history I’d love to be able to quickly see where people get their sources.

When it was in my repo we kept the sources pretty organized, I don't think Vantha has posted sources for the article he adds directly to the encyclopedia UI.

Friendly reminder that us Linux users can run the EXE so it isn't!

I think me and @Vantha were kind of assuming that'd be a logical step seeing we already have a UI for an in game viewer. Although once the game get's out of alpha I would love to see a physical special edition like those old boxes of Age of Empires with fold out things and thick manuals.

I always try to turtle up, but before I can get walls up the AI attacks.
