I'd say 2 weeks is long enough to reply to an e-mail before assuming that there is no interest.:)

DM- Understood.

MM- Just try again. See if you can get them live (on irc or on the servers). If they aren't interested (or don't reply, which is a default NOT INTERESTED to me), we're gonna have to look for others to help. Keep trying. And thanks.

I'm going to have some very busy weeks at school, so I won't have much time to work on my Holocron sections in the upcoming few weeks. I'll try to find some spots to make it though.

ic.

*thinks*

The sci-techie in me thinks that's pretty cool and jumps at the chance; the practical person in me is wondering why we would need to do that. I mean no offense AT ALL toward him and the idea, but I'm thinking about it and wondering...wait...

*thinks some more*

Ok, let me ask you this: with that procedure he can do, would it be possible to...to...what am I trying to say... Could he make it so someone could download the thing and then print the d@mn thing out so they could have it sitting beside them while they are playing and training? I think it's great that we have it online, but I think it's an excellent idea to allow it to be packaged and made into a hardcopy.

Ok, now if fiZZ were here he'd have some interesting things to say about this because we had this type of argument a year ago; the main problem being that the Holocron evolves and changes, and the hardcopy business...well...

*thinks some more*

Ok, it's not the same thing. We maintain the web page part of the Holocron, so it can continue to evolve (which was the problem with hardcopy vis a vis .pdf file). But there shouldn't be a problem if someone downloads the thing and then prints it out. They'll always be downloading the latest and greatest information.

*looks up at what he's written*

Whoa. Ok, now you all can see my mind working. Hope you enjoyed it.

Point is, finally, if he can do that funky thing and keep it updated with the latest stuff, and allow people the chance to rip it from the web site and print it at their leisure, then I think it's a good idea.

*dips fingers in cold water*

Ok, I'm finally done. =)

EDIT:

*reads entire text as posted*

Ok, if I say ok one more time, somebody shoot me............ok?

*ducks and runs*

It'd basically be something you could use offline. I guess you could use it for Pocket PC's, as he said any version of Windows. Just something you could use as quick reference.

Ok, wait a minute. He could make one that you could put on a pocket pc?

EDIT: Oh, you mean like windows 98, etc? I'm confused. :confused::confused:

Just so we're all clear, JamesF1 is now really an editor. Yep.

*whistels away innocently*

EDIT: I was talking to James on IRC earlier, after a mishap-now-solved, he tossed the idea of him making a "pocket holocron". It's a .chm help file that can be viewed on any version of Windows. Anyway, it can really compress things, and he bets he could compress everything into that little help file for about a 1 meg! I think it's a neat idea, but we'd probably want to finish the current jobs first.

MM- Glad your finger is feeling better. My fingers are fine, as this post will attest...;)

On the meeting issue: I've already discussed this with my fellow coordinator, and we're holding off on a meeting for a little while. Why? I'll explain.

There is basically one big reason why I called meetings at the formation of the last Holocron: there was a significant amount of framework and structure that needed to be commented upon. We didn't have anything to tweak or work from.

Yet.

Now we do. And there's something a little different this time around. Everyone pretty much knows the structure of the Holocron, its purpose, how it will be used, who should access it, how information will be transferred to it, who will be doing that transferring, etc., etc., etc. All this background stuff, which some of you were not a part of because we hashed this out a year ago, was terribly important and terribly difficult to negotiate. Hence, a meeting of the minds in an online debate/discussion was very important and very useful. We could get a lot more comments, thoughts, suggestions, and irritations worked out in a shorter amount of time. Those who were there for the 3 hour meetings will seriously question word "shorter"...

At this point in time, the decisions that need to be made and debated are not, no offense intended, of dire importance. Most of these issues can be discussed and resolved using the forum or e-mail method we've been doing right here.

Basically, MM, a Holocron meeting is a LOT of work to prepare for and - in particular - conduct. You just don't have a meeting to have a meeting. Remember what happened last time. If we did it all over again, I would have done what worked before. Type up an agenda, ask for comments/additions/deletions on the forums, ask everyone to read and really think about the 10-11 issues we were going to discuss at the meeting, THEN have the meeting. Everyone knew what was going to happen, in what order, and all that.

You are well aware of how IRC discussions go, and it's very difficult to keep people roped in. I took a very hard line approach last year, basically acting as a moderator and allowing one person to speak at a time, in order of names displayed on the irc panel, with follow up comments given in same said order. We occasionally broke my "rules" when someone felt they had something really important to say, but usually a meeting is a lot of listening...not a lot of talking/typing. 90% of the time has to be listening. Otherwise, a 3 hour meeting turns into a 9 hour meeting (to cover the same amount of material)...and no one is up for that.

Until we get to a point where I feel as though there are a significant number of issues that must be addressed and hashed out "live" by the staff, I've suggested to Mune that we hold off for a while with a meeting.

I hope this explains to you and others what is going on. I believe we can regain some initiative with staff here if we touch base with them all, ask how things are going, ask when they feel they might have a rough draft/outline put together, and eventually establish some deadlines. I felt this was the best way to do it last time, and it seemed to work for the most part.

So, let's try to do out best to "reactivate" our staff (or hire new people to fill the roles) and go from there. When a meeting is ripe, I'm all for doing one. But only when it's absolutely necessary.

=)

Hmm...school is starting next week again, and yeah, I do think the Classes thing will be time consuming. So i'll pass on the Non-Saber Weapons section after all, sorry :(

M@ul- I don't mind you doing non-saber, but remember that you have a heck of a lot of work doing the classes section. If you feel as though you can do both in a reasonable amount of time, then d@mn...go for it. But I'll let you make the decision. =)

As far as JediEthic, that's great!

MM- As far as your jammed finger, that sux.

Mune- As far as putting JediEthic in the staff list, do it.

As far as these ridiculously long sigs, GIVE ME A BREAK!

;)
