I have to say I am surprised that language has taken center stage. It wasn't mentioned in my proposal ;D
I think it safe to say that members of this site are able to exchange thoughts in English or they wouldn't be here.
As for gaming sessions. I should have gone into more detail as that has been taken out of my intended direction...
A forum/board that provides a 'meeting place' for each country for discusions on beta testing - organizing gaming sessions based on the many missions posted here, etc.
I meant not for a general gaming venue but one directly linked from the missions here... Perhaps an example will get my thoughts across better.
"David" has been trying to get beta testers to look at his script. He goes to a "pub" that beta testers use to comment and organise these testing sessions in an organised way (not the Gamespy - I'll play anything with anyone style) also they are in a timezone where if his beta raises interest he can get feedback straight away. The internet's immediacy is one of it's strengths
As with any of my posts, I'm happy to be corrected and happier still to get feedback, just want to make sure we're all on the same page. I'd hate an idea get shunted because I haven't explained myself in a concise manner.
Why did I come up with this idea?I was actually using techniques I use in my day to day business (coordinating hosting and web sites for overseas clients) and also in my work with kids with disabilities.
One of the biggest hurdle in any new project is getting quick reliable feedback from more than one or two volunteers. Not unlike an actor's academy and a critic's academy. Better to shoot yourself in the foot (ouch what a pun!) to asmall audience than thrust it into the public eye and be dashed for your first script...
My proposal is more to have a clean line from concept-beta-test results-working add-on/script.
I was wrong to ere on the side of brevity in my initial proposal and won't do so again, as I don't want to be thought of as someone who is looking to inadvertently rob the site of it's individuality or focus but rather to enhance it's ability to allow scriptors (and would-be script writers like myself) move along in the development of addons and scripts more quickly.
If I had joined this site to game I would have left around an hour after I joined.
See what happens when I don't ere on the side of brevity? Bloody long post :wow:
