The link list is pretty slow, there've not been many people submitting things
for it. I think once we've got a page where people will drop by an see the
"Submit your Page" link or whatever it'll speed up. I would be willing to help
with some other stuff too, as the link page takes about two minutes per link to
make up. I would be interested in making a central page but I know there are
other people with ideas better than my own. But since this central page is of
such great importance, as it is what we show Wot:C as our collective best, how
about we do it contest-like? Have a priliminary thing where everyone submits
thier webpage that might become the Central page. Then we vote on them (with a
Quizzlet or freepolls.com type thing?) and the top bunch get to go to a
finals. Then the page designers that get to move up can improve thier pages
with ideas they got at the preliminary level. We then vote from them on the
one page that will represnt us. What do you all think? At the preliminary
level anyone with even the most crude skills in webpages can participate just
to share ideas than the winners can use to improve thier designs. We can also
keep the submitted pages on an online archive that Wot:C (or anyone else) can
look at our hard work. Here's my idea on the breakdown of that central page.
Things inside a catory represent that they are linked to from the bigger page
(ie, Roman Numeral pages have links to capital letter pages):
I. Central Page
A. Birthright Netbook - Darkstar
1. Rulesy-type BR stuff
B. The Adytum - Morg
1. Player's Secrets, NPC bios, etc type stuff
C. Unnamed links Page - Me
1. Every other BR page in exsistance
D. OC(ity)P
1. Details of the IC
E. PBeM Finder
1. Links to active PBeMs with a current description and game synopsis
F. Darkstar's other creations (Book of the Dead, Andurian Project)
Just my ideas to similate some thought.
Oh, hear's another idea: a survey of the simple number of people on this list.
Perhaps Darkstar can put a Quizzlet-type thing on the Netbook mainpage with
"How Do you Participate in the BR Mailing List? 1) I'm a Poster 2) I'm a lurker
and 3) I don't want to/know what it is" We can use the total number of votes
submitted there to determine how many people we've got here.
