Throw my name into the "Anomaly Investigations and Verifications" and "Celestial Guides and Resources Division" lists.
I honestly don't have enough time to make this my primary activity, but a lot of what I do is in this area, so I probably can help others' projects or send much of what I'm working on your guys' way for reuse.
Fox is rad, but he might be facing time limitations too. :\
A note though, having spent time on the player run Dust Trello, I've been pleasantly surprised how well the group working there were able to manage themselves without a designated leader. We had a "rules" list and a "organization/discussion" list and for the most part things stayed pretty sorted. May not need a designated leader as long as the group has passion and mutual respect. :) |

Yeah, honestly I think that's one of the main things we in D-Uni can do; ie: just to first do more things, and second make more of it externally facing. Doing more open lecturers; pushing more of our internal content to the Wiki's; etc.
The elephant in the room is that many of the vets who would be the main content producers in this area have left the game.
That said, with all the recent improvements and the new Warlords content, I've noticed a notable increase in general game activity, and relatedly a very notable spike in vet activity, and a desire among people in general to do more teaching and guides. |

@Aeon: Email sent.
As an aside, I feel the need to reiterate my two points from before:
First, that I do not have the time to make this my main priority.
I have projects that can align with the PSD's goals, and I can lend an eye and hand on occasion.
Second, that the PSD would probably get the most traction as a semi-informal networking tool for teachers, bug hunters, and content creators to find and help each others' projects.
If it is over-structured, and built to be something where there is a big obligation to log-in and perform, and where there is any amount of bureaucracy that has to be engaged with before a project can be worked on, then I think it will fail to launch.
Examples of stuff that would probably work:
"I'm gathering data on the new weapons; who want s to shoot me while I record numbers?"
"I just wrote this new guide; anyone wanna read and give tips before I publish it?"
"I'm shooting a rad video; anyone with a capture card wanna record me blowing stuff up?"
Example of something that will probably turn contributors away:
"This is our project right now; everyone needs to be working on this." |

Jay has work, Xel has CPM, and my hands are pretty much full with various balance projects. So we'll help out but I don't think we have the time to lead the charge, so to speak.
Yeh, well... That's fine I guess.
I think there's a bit of the ol' "Work expands to fill the time available," going on.
Most of the really-awesome-people who work on really-awesome-projects have already maxed their schedule with a number of really-awesome-projects. There's no space left to fit anything new in. :\
That said, I think a new tool for people to get help with projects could be useful though.
How about a new chat channel? (I know we're all near maxed on channels, but still.)
Someplace where if you're working on a project you can stick your head-in and see who's down to help make the world a better place by blowing things up?
Some name suggestions:
- Project Chat
- Comms.PSD
- #Workshop |
