[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2064671, member: 6390"] [color=limegreen]I realized it wasn't new, but it did bear repeating, as the letter was more than just anti-piracy that I was referring too, but rather, a good, solid reason WHY we should create an ENWorld Library. (Not a counter-snark, just a good explanation) And if it comes right down to it. I'll do it. Get me a volunteer to do the code for the webpage and a donation link, I'll pay for the download bandwidth and host it. I have 10 GB of pipeline/mo available, and can double it if I have to. Since I often come across with a "Put up or Shut up, bonebag!" attittude, here's my offer. I'll put up QuickShots Mission File: Bravo; Quickshots Mission File: Charlie; and if Hellhound/Dextra permit it, QuickShots Mission File: Alpha. And I'll handle the bandwidth. Here's some suggestions we came up with talking about it in chat. [list]Strip out ALL artwork that is non-essential. That includes backgrounds, headers, page borders, etc. [*]If you MUST have them, then put out an open call for FREE artwork needed for a "Library Book", there's lots of hungry artists out there just dying for a shot. [*]Pull the cover, and make a faux-leather cover with gold writing. A 20 minute job in photoshop. If you don't have the time, I'm sure whoever is nominated as librarian could do it quite easily. [*]PROVIDED BY: [INSERT COMPANY] on the left hand side of the page, and "ENWORLD LIBRARY" on the right hand side of the page. a 5 minute job on Adobe. [*]No DRM, tracking, or anything else. [*]Once the product is up, it STAYS up. No pulling it down, no rotating stock. [*]Maps be usable, but low-resolution. [*]C&P and Print options turned ON. We want this to be useful.

[*]The product should remain available. If it is no longer available, then we'll put the WHOLE product up for download.[/list] We'd need a few volunteers.
