FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello,
I am looking for contributors who are good builders to help me make a repository of MT worlds on GitHub. If you are interested, lemme know.

What is your plan? What will be the license of the worlds? How big should the worlds bee? And how can we help you, and what would you do?

At the moment, I can't imaginate, what it is, what you will exactly do.

Git(*) is not a good tool for binary files. Unless you can somehow convert a world to an easily editable plain text format which Git can efficiently process, I'd say don't bother. Better look for some tool that can efficiently make a "diff" of binary files (can't help you there, though).

Also, IIRC GitHub offers limited storage to free accounts, which rules out anything but the most basic world.

(*) Just in case, Git and GitHub are not the same thing. Git is a source code management system, while GitHub is a site providing hosting for projects using Git.

The worlds from VanessaE's servers are available here (updated weekly) if you'd like to add those. "Survival_World-2015-12-15.tar.bz2" is VE-Survival from before the map reset, and the others each correspond to a server.
