Open Registry Of Game Information (Oregami)

Mission

We will create a new online system for the management and long time storage of data about computer and video games as well as the hardware and software needed to run them. This new system shall avoid the problems of existing projects while being designed for sustainability and maintainability.

Characteristics

  • a logical data model designed to hold all the available data about games, gaming companies, gaming people, gaming hardware, and the gaming press

  • a modern software architecture under the hood for easy expandability and maintainability

  • an open source code for every hacker to easily join the team

  • an open approach to the data gathered, from a technical point of view as well as regarding licensing conditions

  • multilingualism right from the beginning

  • a non-profit organisation (instead of one ore more individuals) as the legal base, to assure long-term stability and availability

Team
