As evidenced by the fact that I've made this forum publicly accessible, I'm still interested in hearing responses to this proposal.
Before a thousand hands go up ("I'd love to cover Spelljammer!"), I want to reinforce a point that I may not have been completely clear on earlier. My apologies in advance if this comes across a bit harsh -- I don't intend it to be, but at the same time, it needs to be said:
I fully intend to retain heavy control over the Quality Assurance end of things. I'm very interested in providing more resources to the collecting public, but I'm not willing to dillute or sully The Acaeum name to do so.
Before a subweb goes "live", it will be in an advanced state of completion -- i.e., if your subweb is Dark Sun, you will have the vast majority of pages, scans, and information in-place before your subweb goes onto the server. Both you and I will reach mutual agreement that the subweb is ready for prime-time. If I don't think it's ready, it won't go up until it is.
The most difficult part of this process will be the fact that I'm not the easiest person in the world to work for. If I have to edit each of your pages for spelling and grammar errors, this won't work. If you haven't done your research, and a hundred visitors e-mail us and say "what the hell are you talking about? That's totally wrong!", we all end up looking like idiots.
Now, I'm not looking for perfection. We all make mistakes -- spelling, grammar, factual. I've certainly made more than my share. What I'm looking for is someone who has a good grasp of writing and organization, preferrably someone with some basic knowledge of Frontpage (though this can be learned), and most importantly, who can commit to putting up a solid subweb and then updating it from time to time as necessary.
Now that I've scared everyone off -- comments & flames welcome.
