A number of "old-timer" members of the TI-68k French community are still attending yAronet, even if for most of them, it's no longer for programming purposes. It shouldn't be hard to _reach_ them, though a significant proportion of them isn't likely to participate, due to lack of free time.
(I'm mildly among those "old-timers" myself, as I started attending yAronet no earlier than late 2001)

Hi and welcome on the forums Lionel. Actually it would be cool if someone did the 68k portion of the french community since I didn't own a 68k until 2007.

There is agreement to evolve the topic on WikiTI. So let's start working. Tongue When it is mature (in terms of completeness and agreement), it is easier to move to wikipedia, I think.

I started a discussion on WikiTI with some pending questions and suggested adding two events:
    *  end of POTM and start of POTY, that means a major decrease in calc stuff. (easy to get date from ticalc)
    * Change of calculators popularity, exactly the transition between the TI-85/86 to TI-8x family. (variable in regions, vague and discussable)

You can see the topic here:
http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=History_of_the_TI_Z80_community
And discussion here:
http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=Talk:History_of_the_TI_Z80_community

@Eeems: check out the TI websites additions. ^^

I also heard about a Program Of The Week award that did not last long. I am curious if it actually existed, though.

Some googling:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/0/3/3025.html?p=1
Yes, there was a POTW.

About adding every site, I still have some sites in my list... It is question of reorder things to see what is missing on WikiTI. Plus see tifreakware sites list to add more. link: http://tifreakware.net/admin/link.php?catag=index

EDIT: someone explain the difference between these 2 sites:
http://www.calcgames.org/
http://calcg.org/

In 2007, Calcgames.org went through a major redesign, but it was moved to Calcg.org and they decided to also keep Calcgames.org up with a slighter design update for those who prefered the old design.

Odd but it explains. The archive is the same or there is differences?

* Galandros needed to bump some post

Could someone (DJ Omnimaga) suggest or add himself more memorable sites to http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=TI_websites#Memorable_TI_Websites?
By Memorable sites, it means important sites of the community that are not longer online.

When I get some time I will probably register there so I can add or edit some stuff. I will try to remember most old sites and maybe post archive.org caches of them if they work

As for Omnimaga, I am wondering if we should cover its history from 2001 even if it had no website for over 2 years or if we should start from when Omnimaga first got a website in 2004? While it started in 2001, almost at the same time as MaxCoderz, maybe it couldn't be considered as a TI community group until 2004?

I updated a few of the community pages on WikiTI, such as missing notable program links and stuff. I also updated Omnimaga page to something more accurate (altough it still misses the releases in the history section):

Good work. Wink
You made me remember that there many other notable programs and experiments. When it occurs again to me, I will look to add more and complete the information. Maybe even add a brief description for each one and clean up a bit the visual.

That would be nice ^^

Hopefully, later, maybe I'll get the motivation to add more info to the MaxCoderz, Revsoft and other pages. It might not be as complete, though.
