Right. But how would you do that?

As for the source code or windows installer, most people would already
visit the website to download those. Still, the installer creates a link
to the website in the startmenu :). And the source code contains plenty
of links to the site in the README.


I think we can attract a few more people if we do the announcement
properly. We shouldn't just say that the new engine has been released
with these changes. The engine shouldn't be the important thing. That
should be the game and the more detailed background we have, thanks to
Andrew.

I read a bit in the game tome forums, and there people complained that a
lot of linux games are actually engines, but no complete games. Waste's
Edge isn't a huge game, but it's complete, so let's tell people!
