: It'd take forever to load with current number of projects over a 56K! It took about 2 seconds to display just that limited number!
: I'm still updating the current Example page to point to the right pages ("We've moved to...").
I think that page should definitely be split up. The "example" projects, both standalone controls and cabinets should be on a seperate page from links to parts. The link on the sidebar ("Examples"!) should tell you that much.
I'd like to see it split up like this:
Projects/Examples
Arcade Parts and Component Vendors
... And the rest can still be on one page/individual pages. This seems to make more sense to me, especially since the examples page is what seems to grow the fastest on that page.
As for additional info, how about a table? The left most column can include the name as a link to the page, with columns for # of players, monitor type (TV, arcade monitor), standup/cocktail, trackball, spinner(s), steering wheel/yoke, and maybe a column for extra info, like "the monitor rotates" or "uses removable control panels". I think this would make the information provided on the page a lot more useful, and once it's done this one time, it would not be a big deal to have new "owners" submit the required information to you.
What do you guys think?
