Reviews: Missing products?

[Morrus]

If anyone wants to volunteer, that's be great. Keeping that guide updated is probably one of the most difficult parts of running the site, and it would probably be much easier if it were divided amongst people.

 

[Krug]

I wouldn't mind helping. How do we divide the work?

 

[Morrus]

Cool - thanks, Krug!

I think the best way to do it would be to wait a couple of days to see how many volunteers we get and then to divide up the alphabet equally between them.

I'll give a free Community Supporter account to anyone who helps! And if you already have a Community Supporter account then you get my... err... eternal gratitude!

Salutations,

I have done some html work, and would be happy to help where I am able.

Cool!

There's no actual html work involved - it's all data entry via an admin system. It's a lot like making messageboard posts.

Well, I've volunteered to help with it in the past, and it still stands.

 

[Morrus]

Excellent - that's Joe, Furn, Krug and trancejeremy. Any more takers? So far we're down to about 5 letters of the alphabet each, which is much better than 26 letters!

Sounds like you've got some 'staff' Morrus. Keep it up and you'll turn EN World into a friggin business at this rate.

OK, assuming nobody else volunteers, how does this sound:

Joe: A-E
Furn: F-K
Krug: L-P
trancejeremy: Q-U
Me: V-Z

The biggest ones are Mongoose and WotC, which is me and Krug (Krug, let me know if you'd rather switch to an easier group).

One thing, though - please only volunteer if you know you can keep it up. At a guess, I'd say it'll be an hour or so per week at the very most, but it is important that that hour be spent.

OK, this is what the task entails:

1) Add new products as soon as you hear about them. Usually that'll be from my news updates. Make sure you include all the indo you can find.

2) Keep on eye on the websites in your range, and make sure the databse remains up to date. if a release date changes or a preview is posted, that needs to be entered into the database. You can also record random info you hear on products (from messageboard posts etc).

3) Add links to external reviews of products as and when you hear of them. Again, that'll likely be from my news updates.

It's all pretty easy. If any of you don't have an account on the review system, make sure you register one asap and post the username here so that I can give you admin status. You'll then have access to the various product adding/editing functions.

Thanks for offering to do this, guys - I really do appreciate it!
