NXT Repository - Call for Contributions!

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

The NXT (unofficial) Repository at NXTasy.org is open for contributions! As the NXT community expand (with more and more people getting their NXT sets), so does the need for a central file-sharing repository for all NXT users. We at NXTasy.org took the challenge and added a new NXT Repository to our existing (and very active) NXT-related forums system.

The new repository will contain moderated contributions from community NXT-fans worldwide. It is categorized into six major categories:

1. Projects - for user-contributed projects, including building instructions and software.
2. Blocks & Extensions - for contributed MyBlocks, NXT-G extensions (in future), NBC codes, RobotC codes etc.
3. Hardware - for hardware schematics, either of the NXT internals or of new sensor designs
4. Utilities - holds utilities and links to programs which will make your NXT experience more fun!
5. Reviews - review papers on NXT, 3rd party products etc.
6. Tutorials - explain advanced (and basic..) NXT techniques for everyone!

At the moment contribution is possible only via email to repository@nxtasy.org. Please supply a title and a description of your contribution. A questionnaire with detailed questions, depending on the category of contribution, will be sent by us via email. Once all needed details are gathered, your contribution will be added.

NXT Repository is open for your contributions! Help us making this repository THE place to look for help in YOUR NeXT Adventure!

Yours,

Guy Ziv
Repository Administrator
