Anyone know how many gbs of mud code is on here?

Sounds like we still have room for growth yet, but we're not doing too badly considering we've only had a little over a year to get to this point.

I'd rather see quality instead of quantity, but I'm weird like that.

And btw, I'm glad to see the Sourcery back up Tyche.
(these last 2 posts are an exception to the rule).

I second this, but I'm also glad for Tyche's repository being there. Not everyone can store everything, so the more places things are at, the better.
Good to see you found a new home for it Tyche.

With a nonexclusive repository the theory of "quality over quanitity" doesn't really hold up…
I'd prefer a code repository have quantity. Because it it has everything, it'll also have the quality ones in there somewhere ;)

One of the main issues is that mud repositories lack meta data. It's comparable to a mud list with 10000 muds that only lists the name, codebase, and telnet address.
Hence why someone would prefer to have a list of 100 'quality' muds because of the impossible task to view all content.
Adding more searchable meta data might be an interesting solution though. That way someone can search for a codebase that has olc, mccp, player accounts, and 50+ areas.

Thanks guys. I'm almost tempted to add more content. ;-)
Well there is meta data here for many files on Mudbytes.
Before I took the site offline back in September I was testing a web app which mirrored the contents of the ftp server and contained the information in my ServerTemplate. The content could be editted by any user, and included user created tags (like that used at del.icio.us). Of course the problem with all meta data is that is requires some dedicated meta people to enter and maintain it.
My purpose for collecting it was to insure it doesn't disappear from the net, so going for quantity. And after all 90% of mud code was written by amateur programmers at the high school or college level. It's often their first feeble attempts at programming, so quality is a rather rare feature.

Don't let us stop you from adding content to the collection. :wink:
It may be a rare feature, but fortunately there are a few codebases and snippets out there that are pretty impressive. :smile:

That's still rather basic. I had a much more detailed system in mind more akin to how TMC works. A different set of meta data would be required for servers, and snippets, but that shouldn't be a big issue.
