Looking for staff for new site: PlanetNexuiz.com

[Urmel]

Why is natively so important anyway? I can tell you that I speak better English than most native English people etc. someone who can speak the language fluently is good enough pp.,

Well, I do speak english quite fluent, but my written english words are quite, uhm, simple maybe, I lack a lot of vocabulary and well you certainly got my point. That's the thing you can recognize most of the german ones. Of course the swedish can generally write english better than the german, but the swedish are also very lazy and want to do their own stuff

a second english Nexuiz forum is probably not needed.

On Planetnexuiz.de the forum has never been an important part. Mainly you can find a lot of information about Nexuiz (its maps, player models, weapons, tweaking and so on), at a time there wasn't any other website where you could get more valuable information than there. Planetnexuiz.com will (said in my simple words) fill a big big big hole, believe me.

I will contact the volonteers here soon (am a bit busy these days, will have more time at the weekend). I wanted people speaking english natively because they can correct the sentences written by people who think they can speak english really well, but still sound odd.

By "writing news about the community" I do mean things such as the new nexuiz patches, but also other smaller things. I want the news to be updated frequently, because it's the news what keeps people visiting a site. Thus I also want news articles about new custom maps which are released, new models, or news about interesting ladder matches or upcoming/current Nexuiz tourneys.

a second english Nexuiz forum is probably not needed.

I am not really intending the forums there to replace the help desk that this forum is offering. Actually what is important is the English PlanetNexuiz forum, allowing English-only speaking people to ask for articles. I will think about deleting the English Nexuiz forum, because the AT forums should remain the main place for help and discussion about Nexuiz.

I'd be willing to do some editing/writing. I'm the lead editor for my school's literature magazine. I'm a native English speaker. You've got a lot of people already though. If you need help PM me.

For now it is important that the volonteers register an account at planetnexuiz.com, because once you got one I can easily activate your access to the internal forums. There you will learn how to use the system with which you will create new articles. Everyone who would like to contribute (or who just wants to post in the forums) can sign up. However, before I can activate internal access for someone, he/she should contact me either via Alientrap forums PM or via IRC, because I'd like to have a small personal conversation first . It's important for me to know how experienced someone is and what tasks he/she wants to do exactly.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this

I registered. Just send a PM my way on either forum if you decide to choose me.

At the moment I'm still working on some things for the internal backend system: it's about the way we will handle image uploads. There will be a lot of usage of images in articles and probably news articles, as well as an image gallery. I need to get this working first.

Besides I will also work on a structure for the page, it will be similar of how planetnexuiz.DE was organised. I think it's important to have a basic structure of the articles that will be created before we start. We can discuss about changes then in the internal forums, to which the volonteers will get access to very soon (this weekend).

[morfar]

I'm intrested in contributing articles and what not.

[GreEn`mArine]

I'm still needing German article writers. The reason is that there is already so much content there on planetnexuiz.de which could easily be migrated (updated and translated to English) to PN.com.

Urmel, why didn't you reply so far ?

Urmel, why didn't you reply so far ?

Well, I fell off the chair unconcious while reading the FAQ

nah, really sorry, I'm gonna answer right after I wrote this now, I have hard times having to relearn how to play guitar for my dad's 70th birthday next sunday, a rock'n roll song of all things which is badly hurting my fingers *ouch* and eating my precious time

[Urmel]

well, I don't know if I'm running simultaneously with Green, but IMHO we need more people, or alternatively we need the people for some more than having their names in the Userlist. You really can't expect Green to do the whole work on his own...
