Topic: duplicate project

Vega Strike has been duped once again:

Original

Dupe numero dos

-.-

Topic: project tags... make case insensitive?

Yes, it's very annoying to have to find all instances of the same tag, and this can only lead to data fragmentation which is no good.

Topic: duplicate project

I just added "Vega Strike", only to find that it was already in the database.

Here's mine

Here's the one that was already there

Is there a way to merge them instead of just deleting one or the other? The older should probably be the entry that remains, especially because the source has already been analyzed, but I think mine has a better description, and the "related programs" seem to be more on-target (this is because of the tags, right?)

You really should at least run a search on new project submissions. I mean, these two entries have the exact same name. I thought I searched beforehand, but I may have searched for "vegastrike" instead of "vega strike" so it didn't come up.

Topic: Relationships a la musicbrainz

Actually, if you were able to interconnect projects with a series of meaningful relationships: dependencies, concurrent projects, fork projects, etc., you could create a relationship map that would probably be quite useful.

Ex. if users have contributed this information, someone looking for information on a project that appears to be dead could find links to active forks.
