[Coco] Missing programs that aren't in the CoCo Archive

[Glen Hewlett]

Hi All,

I was thinking there are probably lots of programs that aren’t on the CoCo Archive that if not added may be lost forever.  Perhaps there should be a list kept somewhere that people could add programs that they remember having or heard of that isn’t on the CoCo Archive.  Then others could look at the list and see if they have the software and add it to the archive.

Maybe it could be as easy as a big spreadsheet kept on google drive.  We could have a list of what is available and another list of programs people remember and would like to see added if anyone has a copy.  Maybe we could also add to the list if anyone has copies of programs that aren’t cracked, so they load without the crackers name or other copies of programs in the Archive aren’t complete.  In other words a more cleaner archive would be a good thing too.

Maybe Guillaume Major could pull all the titles from the CoCo Archive as a good starting point.

I know this would require a lot of people to contribute to but I think it might be the only way we can preserve all the CoCo history.

Cheers,
Glen
