Based on this, I think Launchpad is sufficiently far from serving these
needs that there is no point keeping this bug open.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with these needs.  They make
sense, and a platform specialized to game development would focus on
them.  But Launchpad serves a much broader audience.

However, as individual features come up that would help, please file
individual bugs on those, and we'll take them one at a time.  The key
thing is to get a well-bounded description of the proposed feature:
something where when we've implemented it, we will know we've
implemented it.

Bug description:
Content is the primary thing holding back the development of FOSS games and a distributed content development platform is in dire need. 
http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/04/foss-gaming-needs-distributed-content.html

FOSS game developers need a website like launchpad (or, better yet, launchpad itself, as this bug was filed for) to allow them to share resources like sounds, textures, models, etc. 

It's a HUGE task, but so is the payoff. Here's to FOSS gaming!
