The IGDA Casual Games SIG, is looking to make a final round of edits to this years Casual Games Whitepaper, and we would appreciate all of your help. The paper is going to be published at Casuality Seattle and in order to meet that deadline, we need to have all edits in place absolutely no later than June 1st!
This year we've tried to make helping out as easy as possible, by editing the paper through the IGDA's wiki. Simply login to the Wiki (using your IGDA account information) and then edit and update anything you feel like you can help out with.
The white paper home is here: http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper
The paper is broken up into 5 major sections:
Market Overview http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Market_Overview
This gives an overall analysis of the industry and casual game space
Business Models http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Business_Models
Talks about all the various business models employed. If you're doing something different we would REALLY love your help on this section
Production and Design http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Production_and_Design
This section discusses the actual creation of casual games.
Technology http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Technology
We're trying to give a broad overview of technologies available, as well as get in-depth for widely used tech. If you're a developer/programmer, I'm sure you have some great insight to add here!
Publishing http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Publishing
This portion covers the process of actually bring your games to market. We try to cover everything from portals to self-publishing websites. If you are involved in this process, try to help us out here.
If you have any questions about how to help, feel free to ask. In general we encourage you to just jump in and start contributing. We are using the wiki this year so everyone is able to help with the least amount of resistance. However, we do realize that many people have not used a Wiki before. There are a couple resources that should help you get started, including this great Quick Start

Thanks in advance for your help.
