Re: [Bontz-team] art resources

ok, i think i probably have worked with cvs the most, so i think i will
manage and maintain it.

here is how i would like us to use cvs

we will make a separate modules for each item and then i can tie this
together however we want through the CVSROOT/modules file.
so we should import music graphics and everything else into separate
modules.  if you are not sure how to do any of this please ask

mostly it is just
$ cd cvs
$ cd new_module_dir
$ cvs -z3 address@hidden:/cvsroot/bontz import module_name
vendername branchname

#the vender and branch names can basically be anything you want.

ok, that is how to make a new module

as for the directory structure of the module, how about this...

remember at the school we used
/modulename/web
to store all of the stuff that can actually be seen on the website
and along with that we then have a number of other things that were
never seen by the public such as
/modulename/scripts
/modulename/docs
/modulename/db

i propose we adopt a similar format for bontz
we will create sprites as its own module
and then inside the sprites module we could do the following
#this will contain your notes
/sprites/notes    
#this will contain the blend files
/sprites/blender
#this will contain the actual files that will be release
/sprites/release
#and and so on...
/sprites/(whatever else you want)


does all this make sense?
