Discussion Thread 1: The End Goal

The reason why I thought about doing this thread was to utilize my down time to start learning a real skill. Given that I participated in a number of discussions online for my last class, I figure this may be a decent way of learning some web design. This is all about self learning, and should give us an opportunity to learn some fun stuff.

Towards that end, I think we should have a decent final (group) project. My initial idea was to create a full on front end for the guild. We've been around for three years, and we should have something out there. I know people have offered to do this in the past; however, the project has always stalled. Therefore, if we all agree to this format, we may be able to encourage each other to get this thing done.

As far as I remember, the web page should have the following things:

A Dossier on each active Rider
A Timeline of events
A calendar to keep us up to date
Links to Fiction
and a link to our forums.


The first discussion question: Does this make sense as a topic? IF it does make sense, what other features should we put into the page? If it does not make sense, then what should we do as a final project?

This makes sense.

You're missing:

Guild Description, with commentary on Recruitment (as in, we don't)
Art Gallery

The "dossier" section has the potential to be more comprehensive than single character profiles, in an RP sense - looking at the B&R as a whole, structures, locations, etc. I imagine it as a section of the site put together in an RP PoV of someone's ingame research on the WFR (albiet a lot more involved/OOC/non-character-knowledge than strictly speaking). Perhaps a SI:7 investigation?

There are a lot of good writers to shanghai.
