RTFM Pt 2 -- Apply!

Hello again,

After a few months' hard work, we've made excellent progress on the RTFM project (rtfm.mercenariesguild.net). Recently, we took a short break over the holidays and will be starting up again in the immediate future.

So. Guildmates. Recruits. Others. Would any of you like to join the RTFM team in the work we are doing to create a much better manual for Tremulous 1.2? Who of you would be interested in contributing to the volunteer driven, open source project that we all love?

You may be wondering, "what is involved?"

What I want are dedicated writers that will stick with the project for a few months (until it is done). You would write only 1 article a week, but do so regularly. It should only be a couple hours a week at most. Contact me for information, and please do not just start editing. Garoth at mercenariesguild is my e-mail address.

----

Also, those of you that were with me the last round and want to work on this round as well, please contact as well. I want to know who's still in and who is leaving.

You fail at getting supporters.
Should make it opt-out, and then the list is much bigger.

I wouldn't say I fail at getting supporters. I have 8 members at the moment, including myself. That is, unless you're leaving.

8?  More than I thought, but there are 200+ people you could press-gang into it!

I don't want too many people, David. It's a huge pain to manage as it is :-/

10ish max.

What do you need?  I don't know much about RTFM but I don't mind shaping how one should play the game.  I'm versed in Trem 1.2 and Trem 1.1.  So show me a list of assignments needed to be filled and I'll fill a few.

Well, if you look at rtfm.mercenariesguild.net, you'll get a pretty good idea of what is left to do. We aren't aiming so much to give people tutorials like on MG Doc Proj, but we are trying to explain the various facets of the game.

If you're interested in joining the team for a while, please e-mail me, Medic. There is a system that I run mainly over e-mail. I'd rather people not just dive in.

Re: RTFM Pt 2 -- Apply!

I'll be willing to throw some time in, because most days I at least have a half-hour to an hour free. I PMed you.

So what's going on here? Garoth hasn't sent anything for two weeks.

Re: RTFM Pt 2 -- Apply!

Remember my e-mails about how things work?

Every week, you pick a task and tell me what that is. What page do you want?

Re: RTFM Pt 2 -- Apply!

I thought I did already. :/

Oh well. I'll re-email you.
How come everyone else ran off?
