2> PHP Coder
Tasks: board maintenance, board upgrades, help run the Kaomaris server, new scripts

4> Illustrators
Tasks: enrich the WOK pages and games with fantasy and RPG art, help set up the WOK styleguide
5> WOK Storyline Editor

So there you have it. Id be happy if more then the usual WOK helpers would stand up and actually offer a helping hand. If you dont have any of the skills needed, keep your wallets tight for the Xmas collection to help running the WOK server....

PS: WOKCONs 2K4 (one in Europe, one is the States) is one of my aims for next year. I have more plans, lets see how WOK6 will do.

[Mr_Piggy]

I can't do any of them, as I am not good at any of those things.

[Funtastick]

Useless Pig

[Duke]

LOL@Funtastick

Ok, Al. Put me down for Marketing. Pig, I could use an assistant.

Marketingassistant Pork perhaps?

[Mr_Piggy]

alright, I'll help you out Duke

[Duke]

Alright Piggy, that's the spirit, you're on.

I could use an American as well (since KaoCons are involved and I dont think Al pays for my flight over there)

Ok Al, let me know if you give me the job as head of marketing.

You want one person, I give you a department

Btw, wasnt "The nutty professor" the story line editor? He is online from time to time. Just wanted to check. He has a tendency to get annoyed when you go over his head with desicions

About those coding jobs. Could someone tell me what type of Call of Cthulu monster that ate Count Henri? We sure miss him over here.

1> PERL Coder
Tasks: KaoBase upgrades, new scripts
2> PHP Coder
Tasks: board maintenance, board upgrades, help run the Kaomaris server, new scripts

I don't actually know either of those languages, but if you'd give me a few months, (along with having to learn Java and C for Uni) I could try to learn them.

3> Head of WOK Marketing
Tasks: make WOK popular, recruit new Players, present WOK around the World, help organise the WOKCONs 2K4 (more of that later)
4> Illustrators
Tasks: enrich the WOK pages and games with fantasy and RPG art, help set up the WOK styleguide
5> WOK Storyline Editor
Tasks: organise and collect everything that is written around WOK, with the goal to have something published. Run a site/page (kaomaris.net ?) that reflects the rich background of all WOK stories and describe the WOK history

Ok, my personal/drawing/writing skills are laughable.

6> Head of HTML
Tasks: check all pages within the community for possible upgrades and improvements, contact GMs for dead links etc., improve overall web performance
7> Head of Content
Tasks: improve all pages that reflect WOK content (ie. the glossaries), check for errors, keep track of all developments (ie. updates of a manual, new rules that need to be communicated etc.)

You're looking for a critic? I could do that! (Maybe not at the same time as learning Java, C, Perl and PHP though.)

If you dont have any of the skills needed, keep your wallets tight for the Xmas collection to help running the WOK server....

Hey, I'm a student...

[gm_al]

Poly, IMPROVING content actually means re-doing parts of the pages we see online, or at least suggesting to the people that run them what is wrong and how they could do it better. So it takes good HTML knowledge at least.

Learning Java, C(++ I guess), PHP and Perl 'on the fly' ?? I wish you good luck.... I had my first day of VB.NET today, and even as a long-time coder in a variety of languages I was overwhelmed. Believe me, it takes years of experience in a single language to master it in a way that allows you to code things like the KaoBase properly.

Come back though next year, we will measure what you have learned by then !

@Dukieboy (and Piggybear): you got the job. Make sure to add a WOK info paper to every Nilfisk you sell....

Ill add the link to the new marketing department when I find some time for it.

@WOK stories: Nick is away, so I dont want to lose things until he returns. I was thinking that maybe Bjorn could pick that up....

[Duke]

Yes, switch from the guy currently living amongst bears to the guy who is actually named bear (björn = swedish for bear).
