Add a field for indicating the author and licence

Open aglitchman opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think examples will start to be added much more actively if authorship is given. Because the community makes examples like this, and they later disappear forever somewhere in the depths of the forum and itch.io.

And most importantly, we should specify a licence for all examples, like CC0. With the possibility to state another one for a specific example.

Describe the solution you'd like Add optional fields for author and license in the example frontmatter and render them on the page of the example.

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Good point. Why not decide on something like CC0 for all contributions? We need to make sure to clearly state the license of any assets used though.

Let it be CC0 for everything! I agree.

@britzl Thanks for adding the authors! Is there any way to provide a link somehow? I'd personally like to X to get feedback.

I've been thinking it could be merged with the author page for assets too somehow. Example:

https://defold.com/authors/fdec556e51a2ad846db08b8ba0ae3b86/

At the top there could be a "social" link and perhaps also a link to sponsor the author.
