Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
...to help us running the shop :)

We need people who agree to dedicate a bit of their time to a specific part of the organization. Don't worry, it's very simple things and it might be fun to do, too :)

First, we need a couple of chatty bitches (j/k) to put more noise in the offtopic forums. Post whatever you want. Jokes, flash games, funny stuff, rants, stupid polls, pics of your momma, whatever! And don't be shy: the more animation there is, the funnier it is to hang around :) We need a few people committed to put animation in Bots United when they feel there lacks some. Currently this forum is very quiet. If we put animation in it people will hang around more often and it will eventually fidelize some regulars. One funny thread a day ! (well, not necessarily, but you see the idea :D)

Second, we need one or two people committed to the wiki for correcting stuff here and there and adding new entries once something new appears on the forum. For example, if a bot coder explains something about his bot, it would be good to make a page in the wiki in the FAQ section of this bot (for example). It can be a lot of topics. The goal is to make people realize the wiki is a constantly evolving thing, so that they take the habit to edit it themselves. But before this, some people must do it.

We need one person to maintain the filebase too, so that people know who to ask if they find a dead link. That person would be an administrator in the filebase, reorganizing stuff when needed, and generally ensuring (globally, not in detail) that each thing is at the right place. If he finds a dead link, either fix it, contact the person who submitted the file if this person is known, or remove the file. He can also add screenshots to already existing programs and improve the file descriptions if he feels like it.

We also welcome Photoshop freaks who would want to reskin the BU site :) For this, just propose - imagine an example screenshot, post it around and wait for the comments :)

Are you fond of PHP ? You can help too... Nova is impatiently awaiting someone to have the time to migrate the forum to vBulletin 3 gold. And there's certainly a few things to tinker around in the process. You can also help a lot when something is broken with PHP on the server (for example, a bug in the filebase, or in the forum software...) You could even become the official PHP maintainer of Bots United :)

Currently all these tasks are done daily by one or two people, generally the council members who have time. All these tasks taken individually require little time and are fun to do (since they're mostly punctual), but cumulated together and repeated daily they quickly become exhausting! And we have a life too...

If you want to help us it's here!


Most urgent: draw regulars. Post stuff in the offtopic forums. :)

I'd like to help, some how....I'm starting to post more and become more regular, and I'd like to help out with the filebase, PHP, or Wiki, which ever you think I could.

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Glad to hear this!

Okay dudes, just pick up the thing that interests you the most and upon Council approval you'll be named official maintainer for Bots United !

Bill -> PHP maintainer ?
TruB -> offtopic/fun stuff animation ?
SoUlFaThEr -> BU design ?

If that suits you just say it.
To Onno, Nova and the Council members who usually are admins on the server: is that fine with you too ?
We'll then need maintainers for the wiki and the filebase and the crew will be complete.

I would expect comments (approve/disapprove) from the other Council members (to them: People, the fact that you agree does not imply that your comment can be facultative, it's because we others can't know what you think that you SHOULD always say when you agree or not.)

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Does anyone need help with maintaining the bots-united bot server? i run windows and linux servers and would be glad to offer help with support or bot testing. I suggested a few changes in this thread
http://forums.bots-united.com/showth...6&page=1&pp=10

but it seems that this serverhas died.

Pierre-Marie Baty 26-05-2004 23:37

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
That is a good suggestion. I think that if you could turn this server in something appealing for players, it would be great :)

We're all waiting for Onno to pass by and give his opinion about what's discussed here, as he's still currently the main Linux administrator. Onno are you here ?

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
I want to join Bots United to assist in the United Bot development. I have experience in C++ but not in HL coding, i will prove to be a fast learner, i have just downloaded sources of HPB and studying them. My exams end on June 21 after which i will invest more time in this.
I reques that i be put on the coders team, i am good in AI and logic, I am experimenting on a Script Engine for United Bot (based oon what i have seen in Killaruna's magnificient PIA) and my string class is light and advanced for United Bot. Can i provide my services for united bot as a "Low Level Coder"? I suggest you consider that.

Please.

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Alright, I just got a PM from Onno in which he says he's okay with everything. He's busy as hell these days, that's why he isn't much seen around.

I will make a sticky thread and set up the appropriate permissions for each of the maintainers who have proposed.

botmeister 04-06-2004 09:07

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
This is great! BU will be stay active and grow much faster with more help on board.

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
So, pmb, where is my email with the account details, please? I am ready to give the bots-united server some attention. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. My apologies for any thread that I might have missed.

Pierre-Marie Baty 08-06-2004 22:33

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
I have sent a PM to Onno just yesterday or two days ago or so, to check if he's OK with it. I'm waiting for the answer. We're all quite busy, but you're not forgotten.

[WPSC]Silver Ghost 09-06-2004 18:55

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Thanks, I thought that I had missed something as my email has had an intermittant fault. Please accept my apologies for my impatience. :)

Pierre-Marie Baty 10-06-2004 09:06

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Well you have a PM now. Onno has set up an account and a password for you :)

You're now an official maintainer. Congrats! :)

Re: Bots United Needs You -yes, you-
 
Thanks, I'll make a start this afternoon. :)
