NCI Freebie Donation Guidelines

Set the permissions on the items to be full-permissions

  1. The minimum requirement is copy and transfer, otherwise the items cannot be distributed
  2. We recognize that many people prefer not to distribute full-permission items. However, please note that
    1. Proir to distribution the permissions will be changed as specificed by you (see more later)
    2. The full permission items will be kept in a safe location and will never be distributed.

Box up the items

Give the box a name

For example: “My First Freebie”
Avoid using characters such as ' and \ / as they are misunderstood by the web server

Make a texture

The texture will be used to display the item on the Freebie Vendor. Follow these criteria:

  1. The texture must be 256×256 pixels
  2. The font must be ARIAL
  3. The font size must be large enough to see at a distance
  4. It must contain the word “FREE” (preferably red)
  5. Name the texture the same as the box, but insert a hyphen in front of the name (e.g. “-My First Freebie”)
  6. the texture needs to be set to full permissions (copy, modify ad transfer)

Generate a notecard

  1. name the notecard the same as the box, but with add “info” (e.g. “My First Freebie Info”)
  2. state that you created the items (or state the reason why you believe that you can transfer ownership)
  3. state the you give permission to NCI to give the items to others
  4. state the desired permissions that the items should have (e.g. mod, transfer and copy)
  5. change the permissions of the notecard to be “no-modify”)

Place the texture and notecard in the box

Give the box to the Freebie Director (currently Blu Laszlo)

  1. The Freebee Director will confirm receipt of the items
  2. The Freebie team will assess the item(s) for suitability to include in the Freebie collection
