J-Y - documentation needed for techs like WebRTC. We probably need basics in the context of games, for people writing their first game. But then we need reference docs in place for people who are more experienced. So not just WebRTC for gaming tutorials, but also solid WebRTC ref docs. Need to sync their publication as much as possible.
Works for me, as our games effort isn't really a Mozilla product, and not really a standard topic under the Web umbrella.
Mark: lots of devs interested in gaming. James long did game apps, for example. We would need to cover Firefox OS app games, versus desktop games, using multiple devices on one game.


We should perhaps flesh out existing zones now, to see what we can do with them, before making any decisions about whether to make further zones, e.g. games
However, for the moment we think it is best that it goes under the App Center, which already has an existing Games page. If we put it here at first, it won't look so bad that we've not got much content initially, plus we can also move the content later on. I think we should move the games content to the App Center for now.
 
== What content should it have? ==
 
Jean-Yves said: documentation is needed for techs like WebRTC. We need basic guides to using WebRTC in the context of games, for people writing their first game. But then we need WebRTC reference docs in place for people who are more experienced, as well as more advanced WebRTC for gaming tutorials. We need to sync the publication of the tutorial and reference docs as much as possible.
 
We need to think about multiple devices, in two different senses:
 
# We need to cover what can be run on different platforms due to performance and support reasons, for example the difference between a desktop computer and a Firefox OS device.
# We need to look at connecting multiple devices/clients to a single game instance, for multiplayer games.
