Introduction and What's next.
First of all, some of you may have just found yourselves mods. Thanks! *G* If you aren't a mod and you volunteered for modly like things, don't fret, if you're still up for it I'm sure there's PLENTY TO DO. *G*
Preliminary goals:
1. Provide an archive with downloadable fanfic for easy movement to various types of portable readers and fans with limited internet access. i.e. one click fic.
2. POSSIBLY provide a simple and clean website for mobile browsing.
Here's the prelim todo list:
[Done! YAY!] 1. Move the conversation to the comm because my personal LJ has anonymous comments disabled and I most certainly don't want to limit anyone's participation.
2. Write the userinfo FAQ.
3. Create an IJ and JF comm (anyone else have suggestions) so that we can tap in on as many people as possible. I'm all for moving it off the journaling sites at some point to our own blog, but the software is already here, so I'm going to use it for now. There's other things to do first.
4. Make the LJ, IJ and JF comms look presentable. It doesn't need a lot of doing, but I suck at even the STOCK stuff that these places offer. So, something that looks like we care.
5. Figure out how to coral volunteers. Codemonkey types especially. I've got some "Is this possible without wanting to cry??" type questions. I also am not the person to figure out the various types of archiving software. Yes, we will discuss that specifically at a later date (soon), but volunteers for site admin are always welcome.
6. Now is the time to pimp this post. However since currently there is NOT information up at all, please direct people to the post in my LJ for reading, I'll link that one to here in a little bit.
7. Please comment here with ideas or suggestions or questions or general volunteeryness.
8. If anyone would like to help tackle these, please let me know. Especially if you're taking on pimping to an entire fandom.
