I was the last one to update Xelerus and added ~80 pages on the wiki. I also fixed up the main page and continue to add links.

Well, if no one else wants to claim the review for this month I'll take it on.
It will take me a few days at best to finish testing and reviewing them.
Something I need to know is where to post it when I'm done.
Anyone want to collaborate on a format?
So far thinking:

Not necessarily in that order.

Wow. This community really is small - I think the sooner George opens Trans up to more of the world, the better everything will be.RPC wrote:I was the last one to update Xelerus and added ~80 pages on the wiki. I also fixed up the main page and continue to add links.
I can't guarantee anything long-term, but assuming we still have the three-winners for September, if Vachtra is willing to review my mod, I can help with one of the others, and if we can get a third person to do a third mod, then at least we can all split the work, at the very least for this month.
Long-term, if we still can't find enough writers, then it's really unfair to keep lumping work on the older members of the community - we all have personal lives, and we're all getting older, with more commitments, so how some of these guys have managed to keep everything rolling is beyond me.

The Wiki is maintained, its manned by a few people such as RPC. Which does a commendable job doing it too!
It could use help to get more work on the updating content though

@Vachtra: I did some reviews with ThePrivateer ages ago:
http://neurohack.com/transcendence/foru ... ews#p34699
For the meanwhile I think we can revive that old thread, and I'll see about fixing the WP account I have.
I also did some video reviews:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCwMuthXwE&feature=plcp
Also, Vachtra, feel free to just review just one. I don't want you to spend ~7 hours looking and reviewing all the mods for MoTM. The blurb on Xelerus is supposed to sell it to you
You'll be the trendsetter though, so you don't have to follow the old format.
I can do the third review

I can do the third review
Once we've at least got a few reviews on my old thread, we can port that across to WP.

I think the four of us are interested in doing this, so lets start planning out schedules? When we want to do the reviews and rotate from that? I think if all four of us do it will be picked once every 4 months, which isn't too bad!

Would we only be reviewing winning mods? Or should we be doing all mods?Ttech wrote:I think the four of us are interested in doing this, so lets start planning out schedules?

If it's just MOTM, well then, that's probably right for one person, but if it's all mods released in a month, that's a massive task.

Well, we don't have enough people to do every mod, so just winning mods. Probably should do projected winnners so the mods get released around the same time as a mod wins.ThePrivateer wrote:Would we only be reviewing winning mods?

Well, in that case, I'm going to project the triple winners of September as Ships INC, Salvager's Fleet and Emergency Escape Beacons.Ttech wrote:Well, we don't have enough people to do every mod, so just winning mods.

That's three mods - we have four people willing to do it.
I'm offering to take next month's one, and if needs be, I can help out this month.
I'm thinking we can just re-construct the old thread, in a new form, and maybe Ttech, you can sticky it for the meantime? Is there a way to lock a thread from comments, but allow a group (say, Mod Reviewers) to edit it?

We need more helping hands, if you do the recent wiki edits, much of it is RPC and a few select others.
I think I'll take ThePrivateer's suggestion and review his mod, Emergency Escape Beacons, and leave the other two to him and whoever else wants to help out this month.
The mod says it's for version 1.08. Can I test it on 1.08l or will that mess with things?

I'd love to step up and review something, but I dunno if I can stick to any schedule as my real life circumstances suck most of the time. (~80% of my computer based "fun time" is actually at work after I've caught up on my work. )
If nothing else methinks I'll apply for a TWiki account, I'm good at re-formatting and such (What? I already have one, with edit rights? When did I get that? )

Should work fine on any of the 1.08 versions, I know I developed it on k, but it should be okay.Vachtra wrote:I think I'll take ThePrivateer's suggestion and review his mod, Emergency Escape Beacons, and leave the other two to him and whoever else wants to help out this month.

I'm happy to take next month's, but considering we have the three-mods this month, I'll also take Salvager's as a quick little review, and leave Ships INC to somebody else, if that's right with everyone.
