Open Source - Open Knowledge - Open Commnity

[dejai]

Hello.
I have decided that I am all for the open source movement, in fact I have been for quite some time. All my projects are licensed under either the GPL or the MIT licensing agreement. I know MIT is not pure open source but I will have to ease myself into the idea of getting no credit for my work, and accepting that its all just for the good of the project and the community. Because in the end what is open source, sure you can see the code but it is much deeper than that, its a community a source of knowledge and shared prosperity.

Looking around the internet I have found sites on learning C++ and Learning Java or how to use blender. But what I have never seen is a complete site that is all for open source development, that wants the best for the community and is not designed to make money. I was thinking, why not just apply the same principle of open source development to a website about learning programming and computer art. Why not just apply this mass of knowledge to a community site thats free to register, free to use and promotes open source software.

Well anyway thats just an idea I am working on it at learn.dejaigames.com and if you want to help your more than welcome. (The ads on the front page are just to cover site costs.. )

Tell me what you think.

And good luck with your site

P.S
I love IrrSolar

Edit:
I've read the main page of your site (learn.dej..) and as always it is very well made but I'd suggest you make it more of a portal because the many tutorials which are already online are good enough but not well known, well, most of them.
I believe it would be easier to get people checking your site if they know they can have categorized lists of on-line guides and tutorials.
For starter as I see you have more things then C++ there check the following site:
http://www.w3schools.com

well, I think that's kind of what wikis are for, although I suppose they aren't quite the same.
http://www.gpwiki.org/ tried to make a nice game programming wiki, but they didn't have enough people working on it, so GameDev sort of absorbed it, and you can find it here now: http://www.wiki.gamedev.net
Note quite sure if that's that sort of thing that you're talking about, though.

Your site looks quite nice I'll be sure to bookmark it and try and add to it sometime. I think having some nice, easy-to-understand articles on Haskell would be quite beneficial, since I had a very hard time learning it (most articles on the web describing it were written for Comp Sci Theory majors XD).
Are you looking to have articles on just game development, or pretty much anything related to programming?

Mastergod: Its nice to know someone likes my work!

Yes its in relation to all code types.
