Hi Jedie,
Thanks for your efforts to put together information and links. It is great to see that you like DWLOAD and is willing to contribute to the project and help others getting started.
As I have said before I would like to set up a repository for the dweebs code. Some of it is also in a git repo already, and I would maybe prefer to publish my repo which documents my work on it rather than a cold dump of binaries and a code snapshot. For now I don't think it is a great disadvantage that people have to read through the forum posts to get acquainted with this. If you had read the forum posts you wouldn't have to ask so many questions here and on the coco list
Also, the ones writing and posting the code on the forum are in control and can update posts and attachments as they see fit.
I would be more careful about redistributing code. Some of example files I only handed out here in the forum, as a way to test DWLOAD, and I have no intention of being a second provider for these programs. For instance Simon doesn't want wide distribution of his demo files, so I can delete that one and almost no harm done. What you put on a site like github on the other hand is a much more "public" distribution and you have no control what github does with it. Things you delete in such a repository doesn't go away and is only a "snapshot" click away. I personally wouldn't post ROMs on github either.
In particular, please don't redistribute the collection of DECB games. They were a quick hack of automatic conversion, and are not of archive-quality and again I don't want to be a second provider of it. It is merely meant to demonstrate DWLOAD, and be deleted afterwards. If you have written a game (or any other program) you don't want to see people redistribute broken copies of it, or even copies at all.
Note I am not talking about what being legal or not, just fairness and respect. On the legal side, your redistribution of my conv-tools are in breach of the GPL software license. I won't sue you though
I can't talk for others, but maybe Pere also would like to stay in control of his dweebs as long as he is busy working on them. It is hard to give support and help on your own programs if people use different versions from different sources. I also notice the github page is not so clear on proper author attribution, which is very important in voluntary projects where people give of their free time.
I am not saying all you did is wrong, but maybe you are rushing things a bit. Most of us aren't working full time on this, although that would have been fun for a while at least
