Re: Building the BiM Resources

I don't have time to work on it much right now, and I lack the knowledge necessary to fix security and stability problems with the resources system myself, anyway.  Hopefully some of the volunteer programmers can make progress on it but everyone is just doing this stuff in their free time.  When I have a bit more time to take a look at it I will do so; I would like to have the resources open for submissions and such.

Yes, but not from you.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

When do you want it by?

In what format?

Re: Building the BiM Resources

If you have completed a good, polished article, in bbcode format, you can send it to the "Resources" account via pm as explained in the first post.

I'd encourage people to think through this before writing articles, though.  It's good if you want to help, but you might want to consider if you are really knowledgeable in a given field.  I, for one, would frankly not be interested in an article about screenwriting written by someone who has no training in the subject and has never posted a completed film on this site.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

Re: Building the BiM Resources

Can you embed YouTube videos in the resources?

I like this idea, and the current answer is no.  I think it would probably be a relatively straight-forward feature to integrate, and better than just linking to a video b/c you can elaborate on it on the page, and it doesn't force you away from the resources section.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

If we wish to submit a tutorial, can we just create it in Microsoft Word, or a similar word processor, and upload it to media fire as a rich text format? Also, how many different tutorials can we submit? Thanks,

And I think you can submit as many toturials as you want as long as they're good.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

Tryxx is right.  Though honestly we'll probably have the submission system up soon enough; I might suggest waiting until then to submit things.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

I dis-obeyed you Smeagol. I went ahead and sent it because... I'm not too sure.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

INSUBORDINATION!

I may send in a tutorial sometime, but I'll probably wait until the Open Beta.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

I return, and I see a functioning resource section. Kudos, Smeagol, and whoever else helped.

I do not care about your opinion, unless it has to do with it needing more ponies.

Re: Building the BiM Resources

Added some more links, but they haven't been accepted yet. Any idea when more things will be added?

Re: Building the BiM Resources

Honestly, the resources are kind of a mess these days. We haven't been actively moderating submissions in a long time. Sort of looking at possible ways to make the resources into something useable, but I'm not sure what'll happen. The system as it is isn't really sustainable, we don't get enough good content submitted and we don't have the manpower to moderate it all anyway.
