[ANSTHRLD] Ansteorran online commentary system

[Mike Wyvill]

Come now. We all know there are no such things as bugs. They are undocumented features!> From: jds at randomgang.com> To: heralds at lists.ansteorra.org> Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:14:06 -0500> Subject: [ANSTHRLD] Ansteorran online commentary system> > Greetings!> > As was mentioned at the heraldic and scribal symposium this weekend (was a> great event, as usual), we now are testing an in-kingdom commentary system> roughly analogous to OSCAR, the commentary and response system that is used> at the Laurel level. (For various reasons, we're *not* using the same code;> fortunately Reis coded up the system for us, and will be working on> enhancing its capabilities as we go.)> > If you are already doing commentary for Ansteorra, you can now either create> an account on our new system and type it in directly there, OR continue> sending your commentary to Retiarius, who has graciously agreed to enter it> for the time being. Since there is currently no mechanism for actually> writing decisions yet, she'll still be producing an ICC for me to edit into> the AICC as usual.> > If you are not yet doing commentary, but are curious, or just want to read> comments already made, you can! Anyone can read commentary without an> account at all.> > The system is currently at: http://hcs.randomcasts.com/. Hopefully a> direct link to it will show up on the heraldry website soon, likely under> the 'submissions' area. (Alasdair?) Eventually it will be moving onto the> ansteorran server, but not at this early beta stage.> > I want to emphasize that this is in beta-testing! I haven't run across any> horrid bugs, but some parts of it are a touch primitive. Do try it, though,> tell me what you like, what you hate, suggestions and so forth. And if> anyone can come up with a cooler acronym than "HCS" (for 'heraldic> commentary system') that is publically acceptable, please do let me know. :)> > -Emma, Bordure> > _______________________________________________> Heralds mailing list> Heralds at lists.ansteorra.org> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/heralds-ansteorra.org
