[DG2] Getting Started

Strider said:
Something that GA forgot to mention in the first post and the thing I'm worried the most about in this game. Introduction/Help threads. I think this should be the VERY first thing we get working on.

Every time you mention this topic, I vow to tell you the same thing I've been telling you for two years now. If you're not satisfied with into/help threads, then just write them. :mad:

Dave, I think that's exactly what Strider intends to do (write them). I do agree it's high time we finally put some effort into converting people in demogame fanatics - we could use more participation!

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we do see action on intro/help this time instead of just continuous bleating about it. I can't help with it because I have a complete blind spot on writing at an introductory level -- I don't know what it feels like to not "get it" without effort, so can't write to that audience.

Whoops, I need your e-mail address (just PM it to me). I'll add you as a collaborator.. then you can edit the document whenever you want.

My gmail address is daveshack.cfc.
 
You both should be added. You don't need a gmail account, it let me make a user account with my sbcglobal.net e-mail. Although, I'm guessing if you already have an account with google.. you don't need to make one ;).

Anyway, you should be able to access it here: http://docs.google.com/?pli=1

Will others be given the password?

Not a password, you just give me your e-mail address and I add you either as a collaborator (where you can edit the document) or a viewer. No password required.

Ahhh, slny06@gmail.com then, if you would like to add me.

You've been added as a collaborator. Also, I just realized that you can see revisions/edits that you actually made to the document. That makes it about 3x better than just editing on the forums. Why don't we use this for the constitution also?

Please let me know Strider that you added me in so I can remove the email.

You've been added.
 
Except that you quoted the post with the email address... I think he wanted to erase it after being added. ;)

I agree with using it as a workspace for the constitution and other things. We could create a DG2 account and then it wouldn't need to be carried under someone's personal space, but if it's like the other google things it will have gigs of free space so it wouldn't matter.
 
dutchfire you've been added.

Mine didn't work, evidently the email is case sensitive. Please add me again using all lower case.

Okay, tried it again. Hopefully it will work now ;).
 
Yes, I had logged in first, but that didn't work as of my previous post. It appeared when I tried it today. :)

Creating a userid for the DG to anchor it all would still be good because then by setting that id as a collaborator we can get a list of all the docs which are being worked no matter who starts them -- or we can login using the new gmail account to create docs, and then collaborate using our personal ids which don't need to be gmail.

So, the new gmail account to act as a anchor point is cfc.demogame with a password set to the site admin's name in lowercase. (Note I described it this way so spammers can't scan for it, please don't put the email and actual password in close proximity ;) ) If you agree with changing to this method, you can login using the new ID and move documents into it. :D
