Nice idea.  But I can imagine the "Easy to run" category causing difficulties.  You could get stuck with a lot of bad votes in that category even after you fixed an initial deployment/compatibility bug.

yeh agreed this is a good idea but i don't think breaking it into even more smaller sub forums is the best way to go, i'd have to visit all 9 sub forums if i'd want to seem them all, maybe some sort of filter or as mentioned above tag system would be a better fit.

yup agreed, i'd start by merging the JOGL and LWJGL forums since essentially they are both opengl bindings and both set of developers can pretty easily help each other, theres only minor api differences and most problems are related to OpenGL which applies to both bindings.

JOAL is pretty inactive forum and could get away with being merged with the JOGL/LWJGL forums since LWJGL also features OpenAL and again the developers from these bindings can help each other since they are similar api's.

Xith and JMonkey have their own highly active forums on their sites, not sure it makes sense having another for them on JGO, maybe they can be deleted and a link be put to their official forums.

I would also think Android would need a section since its an upcomming java platform (perdictions of 900% growth this year?) it will definietly have lots of games, so a section is a must, maybe have it joined with J2ME.

The above changes would go a long way in streamlining and simplifying the JGO forums.

No it is a bad idea on my view as LWJGL is more than a simple OpenGL binding whereas JOGL is only a set of OpenGL bindings and the both OpenGL API for Java have a different reliability...  Ok I stop joking (no more black screen here under LWJGL ).

just wanted to insist IMHO about the necessity of a vote system in showcase (and maybe on other forum), any feedback about that ?

Hopefully you are sticking with SMF and not switching the forum to phpBB
