Current status posted by Ruuk on 17 March:
"NAME OF THE PROJECT: Since we have not (yet) come up with an official name, I'd like to just use the term Project - with a capital P. Easy to type, and doesn't offend anyone's ideas of what it should be called (yet). We will figure out what it's going to be called a little later, and will put out a separate posting with example names asking for either a vote or suggestion of other names. I'm not going to tell you what we've thought of right now, b/c I don't want this thread to start going into who likes what. We'll get into that later peeps! INTERESTED PARTIES: Those of you who are interested in actively helping out, contact MoS directly thru e-mail, and he can get you up to date with where we're at, how things are starting to get structured, etc. underhill...suggestion... see if you can selectively compress all the e-mails and IM's that we've been throwing back and forth, and see if you can put together a "package" that has most of the current thoughts on group structure, process, etc. If we do this, it would make it a lot easier to explain to new people coming on board. They can instantly get a feel of how things are going and how it's structured without us having to go through the whole discussion again with them. (e.g., you're talk with Bubu, MoS. Don't have peeps misunderstand what we're doing, or need to contact me directly to ask very general questions.) MoS, I prolly don't need to ask you this, but please send me the names and e-mail addresses of everybody that contacts you so I can add them to my cc: list. FORUM: I am going to ask DJ if he'll allow us to have our own forum on the JA Forums Page. We can have separate threads in there corresponding to the different parts of the Project. Aeth, you haven't told me yet if you think this is acceptable. MEETING: MoS, if you want me to organize a meeting, that's fine. Does everyone have access to hotmail? The current core group has been discussing things on hotmail IM and e-mail. I have a GIS project due this week, so I'm not going to be able to much during the evenings (-5... USA EST). Perhaps we can do something the weekend? Maybe around 12 noon EST? Let me know. OFFICIAL/UNOFFICIAL PARTS OF THE PROJECT: Just to fill some of you guys in right here so you aren't confused. This Project will be part of the JA website, but prolly on a separate server (which we'll deal with later...don't worry DJ). The Project may be similar to the Microsoft Knowledge Base. You type in a query on what you want to learn about, and the database will pop up the corresponding info. Aeth has suggested we break the Project into two parts. One would be the "Official" JA section, that would have sections written by seasoned individuals, edited, checked and critiqued by experts at JA, and then uploaded. The "Unofficial" part will be where any member of the JA can contribute their ideas of certain aspects of the game/JA. It will be moderated by some of the Project members, and edited for content. I personally think this section would be an excellent area from which Project members could then select and draw ideas and update/revise the Official section. Each contributer's idea, if used in the Official part, could be footnoted with their name as a way of saying thanks. PERSONALS: Aeth - Have you taken a look at the old handbook (recently edited by underhill)? This thing should help provide us with the initial Project structure, and hence, doling out work to people. Check it out and let me know what you think needs to be added/modified. Jake - Glad to see that you're continuing to work on the Force section. Keep it up. And yes, make sure you send it to underhill first for editing before the rest of us take a look at it. After that, it will get sent up the chain to some of the JA Force experts for review. Aeth is right, tho. We don't need to worry about the website stuff yet. btw...I have your e-mail punched in, so you should be getting the cc: messages now. fiZZ - Short guide...oh, ok, I think I understand. Let me know what you think, but I'm not sure this is necessary. When the Project is finally uploaded, people could just cut and paste Project text into Word and make their own personal printout guide on whatever certain parts they want to work on. Haemon - Let MoS send you the old handbook structure (as long Aeth thinks this preliminary structure is ok), and pick and choose what you'd be interested in expanding on. MoS, please keep a list of who is writing on what, and forward to me when you get a chance. Haemon, once underhill gets that edited Project pamphlet together, you'll see the Project Group structure, and where you need to send your write ups (well, to underhill for editing). FINAL THOUGHTS: Looks like we're starting to get some people interested in this Project. I - we - appreciate you're willingness to help. The ideas for this thing are grand indeed, but as Aeth said in a previous e-mail, we gotta start small. But wait till you see what it looks like when we get finished...w00t! Anybody have any questions, let me know at gisjedi@hotmail.com. -rh " _______________ Aeth S'kray *June 2002 +September 2003 This post was edited by Aeth S'kray on Mar 18 2003 11:29am. |

COMMENTS ON MEETING HELD ~9 HOURS AGO
Just wanted to thank everyone who was able to show up for the meeting today. (I apologize to anyone who misunderstood the meeting time. Perhaps we'll use military time next meeting.) We got through the whole agenda (believe it or not) with a few other things thrown in. underhill is editing and condensing the text of the meeting for easy reading, and should be done with it sometime in the near future. The full meeting text will be available to anyone who wants it. Please contact underhill or fiZZ (I think *both* recorded it). Lord - yes, we need some help. Thanks for asking. Contact MoS and he'll let you know what we need right now. If anyone has any questions, contact me at gisjedi@hotmail.com. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

11pm GMT, not am.
Sorry to those who can't make it. I tried to find a time that would be possible for everyone. We have people with a 19 hour time difference from others. Now don't tell me that's not tricky.

Sorry for any confusion, dudes. I've been in communication with MoS and he was supposed to check with a bunch of you to see what would be the best time. He musta paused a little bit before he posted the time on here for ya'll to see. MoS! No soup for you!
Sorry if the times are difficult for some of you to work in. We had to try and accomodate as many people as we can. I'm gonna try and get some shut eye before I get to the meeting myself. 6 am! On a Saturday morning? And I don't have to go to work? Am I crazy?!? -rh _______________ Back from the dead... |

Ok folks, here's the rough agenda for the meeting. No need to start posting answers to some of these questions right now...we'll hash them out together.
However: if anyone (Aeth?) feels that there are some things missing from this agenda, please feel free to mention it here. I'll include it and hopefully we'll be able to get through all this stuff before everyone falls asleep.
AGENDA FOR JA PROJECT MEETING: 1. Project Structure (internal) - Official vs Unofficial? ("professionally" written and edited vs. JA member postings/submissions) 2. Project Group Structure Head - Ruuk Public Relations - MoS Primary Editor - underhill Primary Writer - Jake Primary Advisor - Aeth Section moderators - ? (will explain later) Writers / Reporters - B-Billy, Bubu...etc. Webmaster(s) - ? 3. Best method of Group communication - separate forum on JA Forum page? 4. Release - keep together and release as one, or in parts? pros/cons of each 5. Project Presentation - Microsoft Knowledge base-style, or common web-hyperlink style? (Perhaps one for official, other for unofficial?) 6. Project Location - Separate server, but linked under JA left-hand frame? 7. Section Leaders/Moderators - Discuss method with which unofficial submissions could be viewed, collected, edited, categorized, uploaded to server. Any questions, you know how to find me: gisjedi@hotmail.com. -rh _______________ Back from the dead... This comment was edited by Ruuk Haviser on Mar 20 2003 09:22pm. |
