 |  Re: Keeping track of releases
Thank you to all the contributors which have spent time to fulfill the Releases entries, we look forward for a massive growth of the available data, in order to offer new and better statistics in the near future!
At this point, it's time to have some basic guidelines, in order to have as much homogeneous data as we can. Let's try to stay into those lines as much as we can.
- differentiate the entries! Different entries per the same game can have different Product Codes, may be released in different dates, and on; enter the version you own.
- report the same Distribution. "Commercial" if the game is reported as commercial, "Commercial/PD" if the game is into our archive according to copyrights reasons, "Commercial/TA" if the game is here but who knows about rights (TA: temporary available); easy going, it's written directly in the game's data.
- check your English. At the moment, we've been flooded by CASETTES with one S only 
The PACKAGE field is probably the one that most of all clears up doubts about how to use it. You're right, it's a bit cloudy, so the users have begun to invent fictitious names (like "microcase": what's a microcase, a cassette case for ants? ). So, here's a quick guide which tries to cover the largest number of cases possible.
