Fantasy RPG Forum - Standing Trials

Heya everyone -

So - in the spirit of getting started, I just tried to put this - or the finished bits of it - on to the wiki. It's enormous, as a task - because the coding / formatting is different - because the wiki doesn't do BBCode and the board doesn't do html.

It took me over an hour to get the first first tab of the first post done - and to my mind that is far too long.

So - realistically, if we say "yes, we're going to move all guides to the Wiki" we are looking at hours - and hours - of work. I, personally, am not prepared to prioritise that for moving information which exists and is accessible already. As we say round my way, the juice is not worth the squeeze there.

Therefore, I'm going to propose that we do something else. Options as I see them are:

1. We get a team effort of maybe 10 people. First, they identify every guide we have and their location. Then, starting at the top of the list, each person creates a "wiki" version of specific guides (the wiki coding isn't hard, it' sjust not the same as bbcode. Very frustrating), then add the current wiki guides to the correct categories. Then, go to the first page of each place where the guides were and put in those links. To give an indication - I think that (think - guess - guesstimate) - if we had 10 people and everyone gave 1 hour a day till it was done (or equivalent) - it would probably take 2 weeks.

2. We have, maybe, a single "Guides" category on the wiki - with a list of all guides in existence (linked) and a central "guides" forum where all the forum-living guides live.

3. Something I haven't thought of. Anyone got any suggestions?

I understand entirely that the best option is to have everything on the wiki - but tis a biiig job. So - if folks want that (and it'd be great!) - can you give some time? Please let us know by posting in here. If we get enough people - we can have 1 as an option. But if not, it currently isn't one.

Please reply with two things.
a) Whether you would be prepared to give some time (maybe an hour ish a day ish over a 2 week period) to get all guides on the wiki.
b) If we can't get enough folks to volunteer - what you think of option 2 / suggestions for option 3.

Thanks all!
