    Motivated Volunteers Wanted!

    As many of you have noticed, fresh content for the site has slowed down considerably of late. Due to the increasing demands of the currently tiny staff's time we require some extra help in keeping the site bursting with new and exciting content from week to week.

    We are now hiring!

    We will be taking simple resumes from site members and visitors alike, who are Motivated, Creative and can at least make a minimum of a once-a-week contribution.


    Possitions required are;

    <ul>[*]News Reporters: Seek out new an interesting game development and industry tools, projects and on-goings and report them on the site! We would like to keep the news section very active as it is a major function to help keep people informed in this community.[*]Writters: Write articles for the site. Picking topics from specific tools or libraries to other topics of interest in the game development world at large. This is in heavy demand! Esp. for those with a magazine or newspaper style of writting.[*]Proof-readers: All articles go through a proof-reading process before being accepted by the Editor for publishing. Without people to read over and pick out mistakes the writters articles will not get to the Editor at all.[*]Editor(s): An individual or individuals that will maintain a constant over-sight to the tasks and work being done of the proof-readers and writters. Along with this he should take an active part in the writtings on the site aswell.[/list]

    Interested people are asked to either send your resume to myself or savage and state what possitions you are interested in.

    How is the site going to make it easier for people to comment on and give feedback on articles? Can the articles not work in the same way as news items - ie. have a forum post for each so that people can reply.

    Why not just make it into a Wiki and allow anybody to post news?

    Not a bad idea but all posts would have to be approved by a staff member first. We wouldn't want anything offensive on the front page would we? :twisted:

    I think this is a good point though. The less commitment there needs to be to contribute, the more likely people will contribute.

    A wiki is a totally different animal and we are not going there. It would be good for a manual or documentation or even a community written book, but thats not what we are building here.

    You can think of this site as a new gen version of a game programming magazine/newspaper. Much like Delphi Gamer was concieved as.

    We need staffers and modivated ones. Ones that can commit to a minimal contribution at least.
