Our Goals and Roadmap - Read First
Our Topic: A Curial Committee on the expansion of TWC into other games and game series to widen the membership and increase the intake of the site, as per Article 4, Section 2 of the Constitution.
The Curial Committee has a role in assessing the various options: the viability of the expansion as an absolute; the viability of expanding into the different game franchises; the viability of different methods of increasing participation in such discussions of them; and so on - effectively it is a policy talking shop.
The Roadmap:What we should be thinking of first is the initial idea. What games we should host or what initial change should we make to the concept of this site. We need to think of this first because what the site contains can go no further until we decide what it should be about. A plan that is flawed from the start cannot be successful.
If you want to start another discussion make sure its on topic with discussing the initial plan. Remember all options are viable until after we have discussed it, so please give any ideas you would like to see.
What should we discuss after we decide on the initial ideas on what this expansion should be all about? After the initial idea is decided on there are many things we could look at next.
- Who would this site attract and how we should deal with it? Different games have different kinds of fans and discussions about certain things within those communities that are taboo with one game isn't for another. Especially when clans are involved in competitive gaming.
- The Design: What should the design of the site(s) be? What should it contain?
- The Plan: What is our plan for attracting people to these sites? Its different depending on the type of game or the entire concept. We will need to find mods to attract as well if its a site where that is important.
- Who?: Who should be running these separate areas and what should they be doing? Also who is going to create them? Will the TWCENTER webmaster do many sites for other games? Doubtful that would be an awful lot of work, we will need contributors.
- Hardware: Do we have what we need to host all of this? Do we have the database software and the bandwidth? Anything associated with hardware is important. Different sites, like an mmorpg, may require an item, monster, quest, etc. database. Adding more content can have a huge effect especially when a possible large increase of members is to follow.
As far as the media we should use to discuss i'm personally fine with the forums. Though we could use other methods like chat if we need to I doubt anything more would be needed. If you feel differently please say so.
What else should we discuss?
