Archive: update and first call for volunteers

[astolat]

The discussion and brainstorming is still going on in An Archive Of One's Own. xenacryst has collected up a helpful subset of threads, with some more from taverymate in the comments there, if you're also overwhelmed by the volume and want to catch up with a few key ones

Psst -- your link to the call for volunteers is broken.

*facepalm* fixed. :>

How do you want to approach suggestions? When you first brought this to the table, you had a list of proposed requirements (and then you added your own personal wish list), but obviously not everything was covered in that list.

So...what about a central location (in the archive community LJ and linked from the user information page, maybe) for suggestions or wishes from members. (Like...mine would be to be able to re-order my stories, unlike on ff.net, where everything's listed on people's user pages strictly by date order)

haha, I think you have volunteered to be in charge of this? *g* If you could talk to gchick, who is summarizing the whole discussion, so you don't duplicate work, and then maybe collect up the specific feature suggestions out of the discussion into a separate post of its own on fanarchive, that you could then monitor with a thumbtack to keep up-to-date? Or something like that -- I am happy to leave it to you to decide how would work well for you; I do think it's a terrific idea.

Henry Jenkins noticed you...

You probably already know this, but just in case:

Well done everyone!
