no-intro naming? ... great.
I don't know you want to name all like no-intro.
6000+ dumps
Re: 6000+ dumps
I like that decision. IMO No-Intro is the most convenient naming convention, the only thing it misses is a [!] for verified dumps. I really hope redump considers adding that.
As for TAK raw file encoding, I've read that the author intends to implement it in one of the next versions, so it should merely be a matter of weeks until we can do that.

Re: 6000+ dumps
For me personally it's way easier to upload dumps as I go and I don't see any reason to wait just for a naming convention as it's up to the end user how they want to tag their collection. When I upload to usenet I follow the no-intro naming out of habit but I also include [Redump.org] in the header of my upload so people know where it's coming from and that it's a good dump. Besides people can always retag their collection later on down the road if no-intro starts maintaining a disc based dat.
The earlier we start posting dumps the faster these good dumps will spread and more people will take interest in collecting good dumps from redump.org. For now I would say post to which ever group your dump belongs and tag your header with [Redump.org]. Here is a list of groups to post to...
PC - alt.binaries.old.games
PSX - alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation
PS2 - alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation2.dvdiso
Gamecube - alt.binaries.cd.image.gamecube
PSP - alt.binaries.sony.psp
Wii - alt.binaries.games.wii
Xbox - alt.binaries.games.xbox
Everything Sega - alt.binaries.emulators.sega
Everything Else - alt.binaries.emulators.misc

Re: 6000+ dumps
I do not have usenet access, but I can send them to anyone who wants to upload them there 
Re: 6000+ dumps
I agree with Havikoro. Even if the naming convention changes, the dats are there for a reason. Anyone can download them and let CMP do its job.
And I'd like to add that, for PC games, the best group would probably be alt.binaries.old.games, as long as they are at least one year old.

Lets hope there's a current backup if it all goes tits-up again
