While at assembly, I was able to share a couple of words with Matt "Gasman" Westcott. I must admit I didn't understood much of what he said, mainly because I still don't get his accent, but he was saying something that he was pretty busy doing something with RoR, and he didn't have time for doing a prod.

That thing he was doing is called DemoZoo, and I think is the best thing since, uhm... pouet. It's like pouet but with some clever coding for sorting all the stuff in a better way, and it's easier for giving to someone that doesn't know about all this (let's face it, for a newcomer (or for my mum) finding the download link on pouet isn't that easy).

Just an example... this is how my profile is looking at the moment:
http://demozoo.org/sceners/8956

I still need to spend a bit more of time to complete my profile (yeah, I was that active :P) but it will be the first place where someone can finally see all the things that I've done.

Sometimes sorting all the stuff that happens in the demoscene is quite complex (people with more than 1 handle, people that moves to different groups, unkown people...), but I think that Matt has done a really good job here.

Now he only needs to keep fixing some bits, and everyone should start help adding all the data to the database, credits for each demo and stuff.

Nice stuff Matt!
