Okay Hamers, for me to make you an admin, I have to trust that you really want to help out the website, and not just be in it for the power.

Please refer to my original post for what I need in an admin:



We need people to build, run, and maintain the website itself. An admin would have to be trustworthy and dependable, they have power and control over the entire website.Administrators write and organize the pages on the website and the project itself, and will be doing a great deal of computer time. Admins will be in charge of final-checking pages before they are published on the site. An administrator will have a lot of responsibility, and there will be a limited number of them.


As admin, not only will you be maintaining the website, but you'll be writing the pages directly to the website. I need someone mature, well-written, and with integrity.

Help out with the more basic things so I can see you truly want to be of assistance.

Look at my original post. See all of those guides that are unassigned? Pick one.

I need TONS of help for the actual writing of the guide.

Any screenshots you think will be helpful, post them on the thread. Don't worry about revelancy, I'll sort through them.

You'll need to explain the concept of the squads, as well as how to create/join a squad. I'd also recommend making a list of official squadrons as reference (sticky'd squadrons).

I'd reccomend typing this out on some kind of word processor, then send the document to me so I can have an administrator publish it to the site.

The help guide has not been completed or even close to completion because Luna had been busy and I'm not very good with computers. I just learned how to edit the website :) lol. If anyone wants to help please send me a private message.

Ways to help:
Write articles
Edit website and add articles- but you need to send me pm so i can make you admin.

It's been a while since this was made and little progress had been made since then but It can be completed. I think the website is a great idea.

Thanks
Dixie

Okay, so this idea has probably been tossed around before, but some other members and I thought it would be great to make this a reality. A separate site, an unofficial guide to Dogfight.

This website would be written and maintained by the player community, and will stand as a reference to DF only. No socialization should take place there, it stands as a “view only” kind of site. It will contain any and all relevant information to playing Dogfight, from the basics (HUD, basic flying, bombing, landing, etc), a walkthrough of the Practice Missions, and most importantly, guides on playing online... all written from a collaboration of seasoned players.

The forums is a great place for information and help, but organizing everything into a comprehensive guide, written by the experienced players themselves, would serve a great purpose in all its own.

Now, this is going to be a separate project that will require the use of intellectual property in a second-party site. In no way must any of us receive profit from this. If Joaquin, or any other staff members issues a C&D, we must do exactly that. DF isn’t our property, and tI don't want to cause any infringement.

To make it as simple as possible to create and maintain, we’ve decided to host this website on .Webs


Ideas? Thoughts? Opinions?

===========

This will have to be a big team effort, so if you would like to help out, see below.

Administrators

We need people to build, run, and maintain the website itself. An admin would have to be trustworthy and dependable, they have power and control over the entire website. Administrators write and organize the pages on the website and the project itself, and will be doing a great deal of computer time. Admins will be in charge of final-checking pages before they are published on the site. Admins must be familiar with computers and word processing. Also, as of current, each administrator must have a Google Drive account, to be able to publish pages on the site. An administrator will have a lot of responsibility, and there will be a limited number of them. If you are serious about helping, and want to be an admin of this project, post so on this thread, and we will look into it.

Writers

This will make up the majority of the workforce in the building of this website. Loads of content needs to be written for this guide. Output needs to be thorough, and well-written (See the alpha pages of the guide for examples of what we need). Proper grammar/syntax, as well as a good knowledge of the game itself is needed. If you are interested in helping write a specific part of the guide, post on this thread. We will give you instructions on what needs to be written.

Photographers

To make this guide good, we need screenshots, and good ones, too. If you spend a lot of time in-game, and wouldn’t mind taking some useful pictures every now and then, this would be a nice position. We need specific pictures, so there will be specific missions/game modes that will need to be photographed. If you are interested, post on this thread.

We need all the help we can get to make this work! If you have any ideas -- anything at all, post them here, too!
