Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theo R Cwithin" data-source="post: 5459129" data-attributes="member: 75712">Very cool!  That might be the perfect place to host the baseline when it gets finalized; I'll contact you about that when that time is a bit nearer. For the time being, we've just put up a publicly viewable googlesite ready at this <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/e6baselinesrd/home" target="_blank">E6 Baseline SRD development</a> site.  Right now it's basically just a no-nonsense "this is where we stand" thing, but it makes the individual SRD files much easier to view than using the rtfs. (tl;dr version at bottom)It's very much a work in progress.  Of most interest to some people is the little bit of info on the top-level decisions we've made to reduce the full SRD down to E6; a very little bit can be found on the Information page (under "What have you done..?").  I'll be tagging more specific 'design' notes to each file or category of files shortly.However, the pages containing the SRD itself are full of formatting peculiarities, presumably  from the mish-mash of systems and software used to edit the original  rtfs and convert them to html.   I'd actually like to get the format  issues cleared up as soon as possible, especially to remove weird  non-printing characters and get the tables & fonts uniform, if not  pretty.  I'm prioritizing this because dealing with changes to the rules text is much more difficult to track if we're fixing formatting at the same time.There's no public editing capability yet; and there may never be on this initial baseline phase, just to keep the project closed ended.  But anyone can feel free to  either talk about it here, or use the contact info on the site.  I believe there's also a comment functionality at the website that would be a suitable place for, well, comments.With all that said, what I think I'll do is manually fix the formatting on each rtf individually, and re-upload them over the next couple weeks so the pages gradually beome uniform.  As I put them up, I'll steer discussion here toward that particular file(s) along with some specific to do's.  At that time editorial changes can be noted by anyone, and someone with keys to the site can incorporate them into the html and rtf versions.  Of course, anyone can comment on anything at anytime, but focus will be on very specific parts of the SRD at any given time, so concerns might not get addressed immediately.TL;DR VERSION - Go check out the website.  It's rough, but it's usable.  Yes, I know it's not pretty, and there's a mess of formatting bugs; I'll fix those first.  Yes, I know there are rules & design issues, too.   As I fix the formats on individual SRD rtfs, discussion (here and there) will be focused on those specific parts of the SRD so we can address the real game issues without the distraction & interference of the messy format.Cheers!</blockquote>
