Introduction

This page should help to keep track of our current content planning and status. It is a first quick setup and as always I am open to suggestions.

Content

The content is my (Christian/ime-admin) current suggestion. We can always discuss changes or additions. Let us discuss it in our skype group or put a comment in the comment column.

If you put a comment regarding changes to the content in the content column, please put the date in it and mark it red, so I can see what's new and put it up for discussion in our skype chat(s).

The "-" at the beginning marks a new section (heading2, highest level on the table of contents on the beginning of the page). The details in brackets, divided by ";" should define the section further or even suggest  the exact sub-sections (heading3).

Order of creation

For now we are mainly progressing by me (ime-admin) creating a page in English and others localizing it in their language. Exception: quests, where Brtzl has already created a lot of work and is putting it into the German pages already. With the current status of the wiki and the available time to work on it, this might not be the best solution. The reason to do it this way is to avoid people doing a lot of work that we later have to change. There is still the issue with a lot of content already created in FR and DE. I hope to avoid this all being done in vain, so I will take a closer look in the next days on what we can incorporate in the new structure in which way.

I don't want to keep anyone from creating the original content though. We can discuss in the skype chat how to go about that. For instance, if you want to create the guild page, you can start putting content in and ask me for 1. feedback and 2. special tables for those pages. I only ask you to not add additional pages that are not part of the plan yet without us having a discussion and collectively deciding to add it to the structure.

I am aware that is this not the typical way to go about collaborating on a wiki. But given the circumstances I think until we have the basic content put in, this is the fastest way.

Discussion

Some current issues to be discussed and updates can be found on my user-talk page. Again, this is probably not the ideal solution, but I tried to find a quick fix, so that I can focus mostly on creating new content in EN.

Status and assignees

For the time being, I didn't put a column in for the people who work on it, mainly to have more horizontal space for the content column and also because only in German we have more than one collaborator.I suggest we keep track on who is working on which page via the status column.We could fill the status column like this:

page doesn't exist yet: status "not created"

page exists but is incomplete: "in progress"

page is complete: "done"

for German, we could add an assignee. Of course this should either be put in by the person himself/herself or after checking with him/her. 

so: "in progress; assignee: Aberaber"

Some pages are big and complex, several people might be working on it and we might want to keep track of the status of different parts of the page.

In that case I suggest we use the status column and list the parts of the page according to the details in the "Content" column with the current collaborator working on it.

Example:

Characters

Buildings and other sites

Items

Romans

Quests and Achievements

Features and Events

User Interface
