As a solution to having somewhat low activity recently, we would like to add a list, or something similar, that details what the wiki is working on. Naturally, most wikis use their Community Portal for this. However, ours is a dump. I don't think anyone uses it and it has not been updated or kept up with regularly for a very long time.

For this reason, we are seeking managers for the community portal that will renovate the page to fit the desires and needs of the community, keep the active forums list updated, and manage the projects table. We are seeking a team of about 2-3 users, to make sure that the work gets done.

If this can be done, we would like to display the Community Portal more prominently on the main page. Interested users should be:

Very active.
Involved in forums and discussions held in the forums so that they know what needs to be put up as "active."
Versed in coding in the event of restructuring.

Users interested in the management positions should post, or apply, below. Thanks!

Well, I'm essentially out of a job since FU went under... KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 23:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Definitely not active enough, but I could be sort of a "back-up"... Light Roxas 15:46, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I've been extremely inactive as of late (and will be even more inactive later; school), but I can certainly be a backup, like LightRoxas above me. I want to be a help, and I want to be involved, but I just can't say with real certainty what my schedule is going to be like. -- Lego Alchemist 08:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Well, I'm active again, so I can help as well. - LevL 20:14, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Discussion

I am currently making a test version of the Community Portal. I will post a link here or on the IRC when I am finished. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 17:11, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

The "Helping out" and "Current Happenings" section need to be bumped on the main page. Like seriously, we need to move the "Featured" stuff (and the stuff I believe to be extraneous, like the "Did you know" section) waaaay down. It simply isn't as important. We might also want to consider merging "Helping out" and "Current Happenings" sections and just make a "Community Portal" section. Just my thoughts. -- Lego Alchemist 08:56, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I guess my idea of backup would be that I check the thing daily and make sure it's up to date, and maybe do some occasional updating myself. I don't have a whole lot more time for the wiki other than 30 minutes or so every day, so yeah, I don't think that's enough to be a full fledged "employee" on this.

Well, my idea has changed slightly, as what I originally tried to do was impossible to do correctly with only wiki code. I do, however, have a backup plan, but that may be somewhat hindered by my broken finger. I'll keep working, though. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 23:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
