I had this idea while finding a problem with the colony deeds. I found the problem and posted some code to fix it, but that isn't so efficient or ideal. Plus any input given on the forums(or social media sites etc) is going to get buried under so much other content. The devs couldn't possibly have time to read and parse everything. Now obviously the C++ side is a black box to all but the devs and that's fine. This isn't an open source game technically. But the contents of packed.pak are clearly open for anyone to examine so there are no secrets to be had there. So set up an official public Github repository that covers everything found in packed.pak. I could have submitted the fix directly(pending approval of course). Besides enabling the submission of fixes, it also allows the submission of improvements. I expect many things would be rejected. However I think the quality would be higher than your average "suggestion" because that would necessarily come from people with coding ability and an idea of how things work rather than some "pie in the sky" idea. I don't know now many would be interested in contributing to something like that, but it sure would cut through a lot of barriers and make this a stronger game. If nothing else, you can speed up bug hunting/fixing.
