BoardGamepedia wanted

Post by fwimmer@gmail.com »

I recently purchased Delicious Library for it's ability to catalog boardgame collections. Unfortunately, I've found it to be extremely unstable (in fact, it even crashed and corrupted my database, causing me to lose everything). A friend suggested I try out Gamepedia (which I wasn't familiar with before). After downloading the trial, I'm extremely impressed with your product (particular with the simplicity of the UI). Unfortunately, I found that it wouldn't support boardgames.

Any chance you might consider creation a pedia product for boardgames? In particular, if it'd be possible to pull data from www.boardgamegeek.com, it'd be an extremely valuable and useful tool for boardgame collections.

Many thanks for consideration.

Best Wishes,
Frank Wimmer

Hi Frank,

Thank you for the suggestion. We have been considering adding a board game plug-in to Gamepedia. Thank you for pointing out a good resource, I will try to see if I can create a plug-in for it. If you have a some programming experience and the developer tools installed you could create your very own plug-in for Gamepedia.

I'd like to add my vote to a BoardGamepedia. I have a large collection and would love to have that catalogued well. Most of my stuff is currently listed through BoardGameGeek, so perhaps a sync plug-in with that site would help you.
