But that is the relatively easy part. Imagine the
varying schemes that
we have each used in naming the file and the (hopefully) description of
its source and function. Surely correlating all of these is a major, if
not overwhelming, task.
I have found such projects to be generally self organizing, specifically
they emerge like crystals in a supersaturated solution. If someone begins
to organize their ROM files and picks a few well defined rules for naming,
representing, and documenting them. Then begins creating a catalog, others
will notice and eventually begin to contribute their own images. The
VECTREX cart project worked like this.
