D&D 4E New Collaborative File-Sharing Site for 4E Goodness

[Graf]

Nah, just the work involve in getting it physically installed,working, and integrated properly into EN World. You've seen how long just upgrading the boards takes!

I have. I'm not one for replication. But it's hard not to notice that people at wikipedia seem to have declared war on DnD related pages. Some stuff like articles on Full Frontal Nerdity have already been destroyed.

Other pages, like a lot of Eberron related stuff [edit: example, another example, yet another example] has been tagged for destruction.
Which is insane since their notability requirement requires that something be "cited in a printed magazine" or something and Eberron has been written about in just about everything, heck there are reviews, of books and video games set in \Eberron which should techinically be secondary sources (or tertitary?).

But, apparently, when the ruling clique decides that someting isn't cool they can just delete it and hours of work by people (not me, incidentally, at best I fix grammar here and there) is gone.
I'd prefer that wikipedia just accept that it's an online resource and geeks use it instead of trying to predend it's some sort of haven for pipe smoking intellectuals but since it looks like it could be heading down the tubes...

EnWorld has a strong "brand" as an independent site and destination for gamers, it'd be a good alternative if wikipedia really decides to go "delete all" on "uncool topics".

[edit: I'm not saying that the library of alexadria is burning because some jerk is deleting pages on shifters, but they represent an asset to the community and work by members of the community that ought to be preserved. Again, wikipedia would be idea, but if they're hellbent on destroying information then that info should probably be saved and put up somewhere (to my mind anyway).]

While I understand that WotC rules (used in our power cards) cannot be copyrighted, I would suggest we add some-kind of protective disclaimer in regards to our designs.
Something like: "All card template designs on this site are protected by the Creative Commons License" or something along those lines.

I would personally feel much more comfortable if something of the sorts was outlined.

Alrighty, I can log in, but it doesn't let me do anything beyond that. Am I missing anything? I'm logged in with my gmail account, should i also sign up to the website? Or are there tools/programs I should have to make changes and additions? Ty, btw for hosting this, it's cool looking, and I'd like an opportunity to place our contributions from the Original Creations thread there as another source for them.

Was this addressed? Selfish concern, but I wish to express concern, anyway.

I or another owner of the site needs to send out invites for people who wish to add to the site - it's not open to the general public.

HOWEVER, I don't mind making 50 owners and they can in turn send out invites... Google sites is just not set up for anonymous editing.

So if you want an invite, just give me your gmail username - post it here or email it to me at: rivera.ga (at gmail). I will get you Ownership or Collaboration permissions ASAP. Just lemme know what you prefer.

Andrew, all I need is your gmail username. Unfortunately, you need a gmail account to edit Google Sites.

Sunspot, I like the style of your cards, could I get the MSE files so I can modify them. I would like to make some cards to track Some Racial Powers and I want all the cards to match in format.

Thanks!
