Hi there, thanks for all the great info here first of all!
Would it be possible for there to be a sticky made that has a list of the major ROMs that are available that'd link to their respective threads?
I know there are the stickies for a few roms, but for someone new to all this like me it's difficult to determine what ROM is what. Something like this would be nice and easy for everyone that aren't totally in the know:
ROM Designer - Status - Revision Number/Name/Description
Xplode - Stable - 6.1.blahblah.CrikeyWhatAreAllThoseNumbersFor??.022 6
Bill_Gates - Testing - WM6.1 Stripped Clean
Sun_dream - Stable - WM6.1 Feature Packed
That's just a simple example. I think having some sort of name for the ROM whether it is the designer, short description or both, and a status whether it's a stable or a beta-test version are the two very key items that would help everyone the most.
I know in a FAQ somewhere I read about what all those numbers mean, but I shouldn't have to go searching for that information each time to understand what in the world they mean.
This way each ROM designer could have one post that they update with new revisions, and the main List Sticky just points to that designers thread.
In the designer's thread it would probably be wise to have a sort of standardized format as well such as:
-Designer Name/ROM Name
-"Stable Version below:"
-Stable version number
-Stable version revision explanation
-Stable version download
-blank line
-"Beta Version below:"
-Beta version number
-Beta version revision explanation
-Beta version download
-blank line
-Any other discussion, instructions, spam, pictures of cute kitties, etc.
Just my two cents ($32.51 with inflation)!
