Have we come to any conclusions as to what we want this 'site addition' to be?
The way I remember it, there was quite a lot of discussion about what technology we want (or rather DON'T want (wiki, blog, etc.)) and no real discussion about the content. This seems backwards to me.
As far as I'm concerned, the next step is to figure out exactly what we want the site to become. Then and only then will we be able to make an informed decision about the methodology with which we achieve that goal.
Here are some possible things we can add to the site: (these are just here to spur discussion and we can take all of them, or none of them)
News Section This would most likely be the homepage, and would feature something akin to the old PWeb homepage. dated articles that cover any news. This news could be restricted to strictly EG related things (movies, new books, mentions in the news, etc.) or it could cover OSC's whole catalog (he releases a new book, etc). It should also cover any PWeb related news (Forum Upgrades, Mod Elections, that sort of thing). It might be possible, through add-ons to the forum software, that we can have each new post on the front page create a thread in the corresponding forum for comments.
Encyclopedia This would be a copy of the original PWeb encyclopedia.
Timelines These were a big part of the site, and were mentioned by OSC himself in at least one book. Probably should have them back online.
The AuthorThe old site had discussions about the screenplay and differences with the novel (all mostly outdated by now I assume), information about OSC himself, and his other works, a place to submit pictures of fans meeting OSC, Links to interviews with OSC.
Fan WorksIt also had a place to submit fan works. Links, Art, Music, and Text.
Is there anything else we should add? Should we take out anything above? Thoughts?
