[game_preservation] Game developers memorial page?

[Andrew Armstrong]

Heh, I forgot to send this to the group. It now has been! Henry; there 
was a brief question in there about email setups, and the rest of the 
group; any suggestions, offers of help or knowledge of memorial pages 
are very much welcome. Spread the word too; this should not be something 
that is kept in the dark!

And I'll use some info from the Metroid database as a base for some test 
pages at least. We'll wait until after GDC to get it properly started, 
but it'd be nice to get some basics down (templates, page layouts, 
required content) so it was ready before then.

Thanks,

Andrew
