[arg_discuss] ARGology Administration

[Christy Dena]

Glad to see this progressing! 

I'm not sure if it was ever said, but I handed ARGology over to Andrea after
the launch. It takes a lot of work encouraging people to do things, and I
simply haven't had the time. 

I ran it at the beginning by emailing everyone individually and as a group.
I think a dedicated group is a great idea. You could use Google groups. 

As for contributing to the site. There are a couple ways I foresee this
could happen: 

a) Make the existing ones pages sub-pages of top-level pages. New pages can
be added under those themes. 
b) If it is more appropriate to add information to an existing page, then
the time-limited request idea sounds good Andrea. I think they just need to
make sure they keep the original credit on the page, and add their own name
as 'additions', or something?  

It's fantastic to see people are keen to keep it going. I know I get a lot
of hits from the site, and have had one job come from it! So people are
definitely reading ARGology for information about ARGs. 

All the best,
Christy (waves back at Andrea!) Dena

As per the below post from John Evans... I suspect a number of us
would like to see more stuff posted to ARGology, but

1. Nobody wants to overstep their authority and just post stuff, and
2. Nobody knows exactly who the authority is to ask

The sensible thing to do, therefore, is form a governing body of some
sort, probably a smaller private email list Basically this is what I
envision should happen:

* People will volunteer to be on the ARGology committee and added to
this theoretical list.
* When people would like to post something to ARGology, they bring it
up on this ARGology list.
* If nobody says otherwise after, say, 24 hours, the idea-bringer
would be free to post.

In order to make this happen, we need both a small, private email list
and volunteers to subscribe thereto. (Well, and a general agreement
that this is an OK way to proceed.) I could in theory start looking
into the email list bit tonight, but I'm running out of SIG-related
steam right around now, so let me throw it out to you guys:

Anyone know a quick and easy way to set something like this up?
Anyone want to participate in such a thing?
Anyone have a better idea than this?

Annnnnd that's all from me for tonight. Thanks, folks. You've been a
great crowd!
