The Blender foundation would also be interested in this type of platform as
their Open Movie Projects could benefit highly from it and help create such
a platform. Perhaps they could work together

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!
