*collective groans*
I know, we've been through all this before right? WRONG! Because this time we are derfinitely sorting out who will be doing what around here.
This is the last chance saloon. If you don't sign up now, all the awesome jobs will be gone and you'll be added as a Reserve (depending on what job it is you want to do, there may be no reserve). So seriously, we all need to know what we will be doing in the future (i.e coders) or even right now (i.e biography writers). There is a vast range of stuff that needs people who are a) good at whatever it is and b) actually have the time to do stuff. If you are the greatest broken link finder on the earth, but you have no time to do anything in the next 10 months.... don't sign up. Get the idea?
This thread will be open for volunteers until Sunday 13th February. After that, I hope that everyone will have a clear idea of what they can do to help and that some progress will be made.
I think pretty much everyone knows what jobs are needed for the main site, from coders, to writers from people who can just take the time to find missing links and make a note of it. People prepared to create the layout, people prepared to code a lot of AU. Or even those who are willing to do anything if they are required and don't need a specific job description. Every little bit counts. The jobs we really need some clarification on are currently who is prepared to play a big part in the coding of AU and who will make the layout.
Sign your name if you have the time and skills to do any of the jobs that need to be done and are willing to contribute whatever you can to getting the main site back up and in this century.
Finding Weekends
Ea had the idea that to get people involved in the process of adding new content to the main site, we could have weekends where people post things they find. A mass gathering as it were.
This would be for anyone to participate in whether they have signed up for a job, or just wandered into the thread and went to look for something they thought others would like. Proposed weekends so far: Humour, Fan Art & Fan Videos. Dates for weekends to be announced.
) and can do link fixing and coding.
I'd be happy to post news on The Hobbit and other content to add to the site whenever I stumble upon it. In fact it would be lovely if we had open threads where people could post their links or pictures or whatever related to LotR and The Hobbit, much like they do on the A-U facebook group. So the coding/site people could just pick up the stuff from there whenever they are ready to put it up.
