I am totally on board with not copy&pasting on the proposals thing...totally am for that. Thanks for the suggestions...I would like to learn a little more about how to space things and create header looking things...right now it is all experimentation which is difficult. Is there a wiki-edit website you recommend or a place somewhere on the site... --[[User:Tucana25|Tucana25]] 08:18, 8 December 2006 (EST) | I am totally on board with not copy&pasting on the proposals thing...totally am for that.

Newsletter
Tucana25; in response to your suggestions, I think a bi-weekly cooperative effort would be better than alternating. The other option that occured to me was to do a 'rolling news' page, like the front page of a newspaper, which could change fairly frequently as things happened. On top of that we could have bi-weekly or monthly overview. Anyway, i shall be happy to help out with contributions, editorials, editing, proof-reading, layout, whatever...
Another good thing to do would be to set up a page to which anybody can contribute 'opinions', or a 'letters to the editor' page, so that all players have the chance to contribute. If you choose a deadline for the next edition (a week or two should do) then we can see if anybody wants to submit anything. Finally, we could get a proposal out there to formalise the position of editor as a semi-permanent commitment. So there's my thoughts. Pending feedback from yourself, I'll probably start implementing one or other of these ideas in a day or two. --Finisterre 14:04, 1 January 2007 (EST) Hey T25, Looking pretty good so far. Here's the answers:
