In view of the recent discussions about the future character of activities of the Guild (as it is) I have performed a number of changes of the infrastructure.
Those mainly concern the "Noldorin Forge" and the "Library of the Istary" - sections.
As now we have been kindly provided with an archive thread HERE (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=120) for the guild, the "Library" shall be no longer wasted as an archive section.
Instead, I have made it a place where lore is stored and kept!
There one can find threads containing :
- Research,
- Study
- Reference ... etc.
In other words, the "Library" has become a true virtual library, where one can find a lot of all-Tolkien-writings-and-author-etc. information !
On the other hand, the "Noldorin Forge" is thus left to be the section for :
- Projects *,
- Discussions,
- Challenges
* >>>
The threads that you will find in the ND named "Project- ..." are the threads where the projects are being suggested, discussed and organised!
The actual implementation of the proposed projects are in the "Library of the Istary"-section, because there all lore should be stored.
In this way, instead of having "main threads" and "work-books", we now have:
- the Project-thread - where the Project itself is "born" and organised etc.
and
- thread (s) of the already implemented and working project!
This is why in the ND you will find the former "work-books" (some I have editted accordingly!), while in the "Library" are the actual information stored in respective threads.
Example:
In the ND you'll see a thread called "Project - Gallery of Characters" - where the project is explained, the organisation of the activity - explained and the project itself - discussed.
But the actual profiles of the characters, made by those who started working in this project, are to be found in the respective thread in the "Library"!
Important! I do not say that ALL the suggested projects should be and must be implemented in the "Library"!!!
There will be (hopefully!) projects which will be implemented in other sections and fora of the whole TTF!
*******
So, this is it.
I am ready to answer any questions! :)
Wraithfully yours! :D
