I've created the 1st draft of a starting wiki page for the project, with a
small description and a few data on the project. I like the idea of using
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development/... directories or something like
that. 

I've added it at:

http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development

And it says:

The purpose of the Debian Games Team is to coordinate, share common problems
and solutions and even in some cases be able to maintain games
collaboratively. There is a [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-games/
project in Alioth] created for that, and also a
[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-devel mailing list]
for coordination

The main goals of the project are:
  * Maintaining games collaboratively, as they tend to share many points in
common.
  * "Scale economy" benefits: maintaining more packages, quicker an with less
effort.
  * Open a way towards a larger involvement in Debian project to people
maintaining just one or few games.
  * Quick-fixing of security issues common to games.
  * Discussion of problems and facts relative to game packaging.
  * Discussion of how to DFGS might be interpreted regarding multimedia
contents and artwork in games.
  * Identify important games that are not packaged yet and package them.
  * Identify games that we were only maintainig out of inertia, and consider
dropping them
  * Make it easier for users to know the games available in Debian, maybe with
some game selector interface, a web page, screenshots or whatever.
  * Collaborative maintenance of common infrastructure libs, like SDL.
  * Collaborative initial packaging of huge new games, like GPLed Nexuiz
first-person shooter.
  * Handling licensing problems relative to games. Maybe even replacing
non-free bits with DFSG-free content.
