As the custodian of piecepack.org, let me throw my two cents in here...
Having the games in two places is needlessly confusing. Yes, there are some
games out there that are not on the site yet, we are aware of that and
addressing it.
To that end, if you are a game developer and you have released a game and
don't see it on piecepack.org, email submissions@... and we'll get
it up there. And please, if we email you and need some extra
information...oh I don't know, answer the email maybe? (You know who you
are.)
Anyway, look for some additions to the site and the game list in the near
future.
