Re: Wiki
I'm not saying this will be archipelago 2.0, just that that was how the idea came around. (in fact, I proposed a sort of commonwealth...). Currently, things have derived from that and I think that, when we decided we should create a new map, this has come to a very different stage.
But you know that of course.

Re: Wiki
What's the problem with a common forum? Bastion is a common forum right? And obviously this is not an international commonwealth, I for one plan to have a pretty much self relient nation that doesn't really participate internationally apart from trade and I would think that this is how most nations would be. I personally like the idea of wikis since it would be a good way to show very quickly what the nation is about, it doesn't have to be more than that.
Were you planning to have a extern forum then? I was originally contemplating to make a blog, a sort of newspaper, as my mainpoint, with the forum being a place for historical background and factual information.
As you see, I am not at all trying to take this into a direction you might dislike. Basically, I just want the basics of this project settled after which we could start this endeavour.

Re: Wiki
Guys...I think we need to take a bit of a step back at this point.
The whole idea was to reduce bureaucracy and give participants greater control over their projects; now I appreciate that some very basic consensus may be needed if this isn't to end up as just another gaggled of isolated one-person enterprises, but that has to be kept to a minimum. If you want to take part ina common wiki...great! But if not, that shouldn't freeze you out or make you a second-class citizen.
Above all everyone should be free to develop their country as they see fit and at their own pace.

Re: Wiki
I don't think anyone has, Jack...at least explicitly. However, I do think it is helpful to remind people what this is all about before there is a totally unneeded quarrel over nothing.
In my view, the thread linking our projects is the common map, which is designed around us and our needs. Anything else should exist purely on an opt-in basis. Now personally I don't see much point in participating if you plan to have no contact with the wider world- why even bother being part of a common mapping project if you just want to do your own thing in peace? -but the level of the participation should be up to each of us to decide for ourselves.

Re: Wiki
The word democratic was meant in the sence that, since the majority of the people here seems to think a wiki is a good idea (of course participating in that wiki would be volunary) and therefore there should be one for the people who want to use it.
Now, I think it is perfectly acceptable if someone wants his own nation on the map, but would having a common forum, or a wiki, not be something that enables you to show what you have created to others?

Re: Wiki
I'm interested in a wiki, as I think it will help me to better organise the development of my project...and coherent development is really my goal with this. So it's a self-consciously selfish position. A wiki may not work for some of you guys...and that's equally valid.
The key to this is that, as a group, we try to give participants what they need...not what an individual or group of individuals feel is necessary.

Understandable. But I think most of us here specifically don't want that.

Re: Wiki
I agree, it obviously died because of people getting bored with the project, which is why we shouldn't force people to do something they don't want.

The appeal is that you have the freedom to do your own thing, with a minimum of rules. However- and others may feel differently- if there's going to be no contact with other people or projects, then why bother with a common map at all? Come to think of it...why bother with a forum or indeed any sort of internet presence?
It is a fine distinction I do agree. In essence though, I see this as a project that I can work on entirely at my own pace. With our Micras-bound efforts, even though things are arguably more relaxed than they once were, there is still an implicit pressure to do certain things and that can be quite cloying. I want to see if it's possible to get away from that.
