Web/Rules clarification...

Good Morning,

  There has been some confusion on what I "volunteered" for recently
  regarding the web and the rules.

  What I wanted to volunteer for was to take the Ansteorra rules/forms
  and maintain them on the web. These being Kingdom Law, fighter
  guidelines, etc. I did this in order to have a single person who would
  be responsible for it all. Although some people have put some work
  into it, I volunteered since I *thought* the question had been asked
  who would maintain all of it and there weren't any volunteers. Since
  these are things that I think would have a wonderful home on the net,
  I volunteered.

  When I asked for help in finding out who to talk to, I meant to get
  approval to maintain these files on the web and to get current
  versions and all updates via an easily HTML'ized format. Although
  retyping/scanning is a possibility, it isn't an easy job and someone
  more than likely has the information in computer format somewhere. As
  well, it could be easy to miss a month of the Black Star and the Web
  information be out of date/incorrect.

  I understand that they are only Kingdom Law after they are signed by
  everyone, published in the Black Star, etc, but after that, putting
  them directly on the web would be of great benefit to a large number
  of people. (Assuming we aren't trying to make a profit from selling
  our rules but expecting people to follow them even if they don't buy a
  copy. *wink*)

  I think having the information readily and freely available would be
  great. I would be willing to bet that people would print copies out on
  their own dime in order to take a copy with them to events/fighter
  practice/meetings/etc. This just means that the Kingdom doesn't have
  to foot the printing/shipping/storage bill.

  As well, I know there are plenty of good HTML programmers out there. I
  also don't want to take any of the Kingdom/group web pages away. I
  want to be responsible for adding/maintaining the feature of on-line
  Kingdom laws/guidelines.

  Sorry for not being clear what I wanted to see be done in these
  regards.

Ciao,
