Hmm right, you are probably on to something. A generic all encompassing 
"Indie SIG" just seems too broad and too unfocused.

That said, "Indie Game Design SIG" still doesn't sound right, but I get 
your meaning. How about "Experimental Game Design SIG", or some title that 
implies innovation that is inclusive of all those designing games (indie or 
otherwise).

But, I still have to ask the question, what would such a SIG actually do?

I think it is relatively easy to pick a topic/area of interest that 
developers are interested in. The hard part is coming up with a statement 
of purpose...


What does everyone else think?
