the voice of the eqemu community

[pfyon]

As with every other time someone has suggested using voice chat related to gaming to me, I'll answer "Frankly, I don't want to hear any of you talking".

If we can get mediawiki up and going, I think we could have a fairly accurate and up to date wiki to answer most questions. As far as I know, the current wiki doesn't integrate with the forums and as such, I haven't bothered creating a new account just to update articles.

I actually thought that the purpose of this voice chanel would only discuss the program and not to prepare a raid or to make an appointment to pok
Able to discuss directly with the community .... In fact, as the forum but with a little more interactivity
in fact I do not really speak to me because I do not speak English well and I thank google translate for the rest .... But this might be a little more for the community
Thank you for your ideas and comments

I agree with Pfyon. And, don't even get me started on MediaWiki! Rogean has already setup a test MediaWiki install and was even able to integrate the login for it with the forum login so you can go right from here to the wiki and start editing without having to setup an account there. There has also been a script posted a while back (which I have saved), that can convert most of the wakka wiki stuff right to MediaWiki. I think Rogean just needs to try out that script and get the stuff copied over that can be copied and then we can take it from there and clean up where needed. I believe the main thing Rogean was holding off on the MediaWiki for was he wanted it to match the look of the forums. IMO, even the plain white MediaWiki would be better than our purple/green/orange combo one now. And the template for the wiki can be changed at any time with little to no effect on the content. I am sure he has his hands full with P1999 and all, but hopefully there will be time to invest into finishing the overhaul of this site that started last year. I must say that the updates/changes he has done so far are great, though. It is all just a matter of time, I am sure.

And to harddisk; I am sure you would intend for a voice chat server to be for the discussion of EQEmu code/script/development, but I just don't think that is what would happen. People would join it to get help, but no one would be there to answer and so they wouldn't bother using it anymore. You would need at least a few knowledgeable people on there throughout the day for it to be useful, and I don't think most people want to play phone tech support all day every day :P Again though, it is a good idea in concept, but I think in reality it wouldn't work out for most people that might want to use it.

If you want to discuss EQEmu stuff, I do suggest visiting #eqemu in the IRC server. Just make sure that you don't give up right away if you don't get an immediate response. If you connect in there regularly enough, you are bound to get to chat to multiple people that are worth talking with. Just try not to talk to skynet, or we will all laugh when you do :P
