[RING] Community to-do wiki proposal

[dreamerblue]

Keep in mind Ariadne's blog (and maybe those of the other TAs, too; I haven't checked) now has a section on the right assigning particular tasks to people identified with each of the 6 ancient strengths by the new personality test (found in the same section). We certainly may well identify tasks besides what she identifies and assigns, but if there is going to be a to-do list on the wiki, we should definitely ensure it contains reference to Ariadne's list for each of the 6 types of people.

[JamesSF]

Ya, that may warrant its own section of todos.

TheBruce is way ahead a yas:

http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Thumos
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Chariton
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Dikaiosune
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Sophrosune
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Mythopoeia

at the bottom of each page is a place to "sign".

[JamesSF]

It's not clear who's actually working on which specfic task, though, or even if anyone is at all. Or where discussion is happening about task breakdown or progress made. Nor is there a place to put tasks which Ariadne didn't assign, including meta-tasks like wiki organization.

I'd find a concise, single-page repository for all of this really helpful.

Technically, the Puzzles page is to accomplish the same thing... perhaps if those two pages could combine forces somehow.

We want to try to avoid duplicating information on the wiki; one reason I made the player list separate than on each attribute. There are a number of 'types' of outstanding tasks (whether wiki-specific, game-specific, or generaliezed ala the beginner's guide)... now the individual attributes are also listing outstanding tasks.

I think perhaps the Puzzles name is not as indicitive to this game as much as others, so combining the two pages would be best. I'm going to need to rework the wiki sidebar too

Go Dikaiosune! =P

[JamesSF]

Perhaps my page should be split up into pieces -- for example, the puzzles page could have a chart at the top for "next steps outstanding"? And there could be something similar for Wiki tasks elsewhere, etc.

Happy to help w/the legwork, just unclear on what I should/shouldn't edit, so trying to feel it out...

The game moves in interesting ways. It's a lot of work (we're all volunteers after all) to undertake to keep everything completely up to date.

I would recommend that new folks read as much as they can stand and then drop into irc and ask what's hot. There's usually someone there who knows what's going on at that moment. Then read up on THAT (find related threads etc) to catch up on whatever's already been done. Then solve the puzzles!

Speaking of the chat, is the web portal for it down? Am I gunna have to see if MIRC runs on the craptop?

[aliendial]

Try www.mibbit.com

Of course mibbet isn't showing up for me either (showing as an unregistered site). Gah I hate this machine. *kicks it*

[aliendial]

I spelled it wrong - mibbit

That works, thanks.
