HOW YOU CAN HELP & CONTRIBUTE

Up till now this project has been mostly an individual effort, only announced on Roguetemple forums and plagued by slow pace due to IRL debuffs. However, it now reached a major completion stage, where it makes sense to publicize it more widely and ask for rogulike community's assistance. 

Here's what  would be most appreciated:
-simple "bug reporting" - despite thorough examination there are bound to be mistakes: spelling errors, archive/files/directory problems, doc-file mismatches and so on.
-trying to find & rescue games from the MISSING doc (http://arkhammanor.com/rpgbase/ARL MISSING.ods)
-testing the games: I've personally tried quite lot of them - but not all, and mostly on x64 Windows
-any historical and informational error corrections and contributions
-adding more games/sources/docs/info/etc
-compiling sources that have no corresponding binaries
-building either Linux or Mac side of this archive.
-providing feedback regarding structure and methodology of this project

Please read the ARL README or check the website for more details regarding this section.

I see you are planning to gather 7DRLs later this year. For now, I managed to get most of 7DRLs up to 2014 edition. I could provide link if you'd be interested.

Yeah, thanks, that would be great help, seeing as these are often very difficult to track down (disappear quickly after the competition). Will give you a shout whenever I get to this stage - sadly, RL (real life) slows the progress down way too often.
