Title: An Idea For Future Coding Projects
Post by: CK9 on March 01, 2010, 04:30:04 PM: I think we all know by now that the main holdups on any coding project here are directly related to the team being used. One thing I've seen many other games use for fan-made content is a roster of sorts. Often, columns are used to denote specific areas of the the project (concept art, coding, 3d modeling, etc) and each row is designated to a specific person, marking where their abilities lay. While we are a small community, I think we could benefit from something similar. Instead of skills, listing availability could help find replacements (however temporary or permanant) should the original team start falling apart.

What do you guys think?

Uhh, anyways. It sounds like a great idea. So basically a roster of "I am guaranteed free this time, but not this time" as well as our skill-set to determine who can step in for projects?

That's the basic idea of it.

Excellent! How would you like this data organized?

http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/Forming...ge_Project_Team (http://www.guildofwriters.com/wiki/Forming_An_Age_Project_Team)

I personally think that was a good layout and that, with some modification, it could be useful for us.

If there were enough support I'm sure CK9 is justified in whatever he's doing.

We don't even have to make it for specific projects; it would be nice just to have a list of options, sort of like a monument to what this community can do.

I would like some sort of rating (from 1 to 5 or something) for proficiency in a skill, because, for example, I can code, but I'm not awesome at it. I'm more like a do-it-all.
