DZComposer Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I hereby announce the StarFox-Online Community Content Initiative (CCI)! What is the CCI? The CCI is a community-based content generation plan for creating content for the main site. What does that mean? I means that you can write articles and/or pages that will be published, after staff review, on the main page! Why CCI? SFO is currently the top-ranked Star Fox fansite on Google. That's great, but in seriousness, it says more about the current state of the fanbase than it says about us. Let's look at some other fansites: The Mushroom Kingdom (Mario), Zelda Universe (Legend of Zelda), and Kirby's Rainbow Resort (Kirby) What do they have that we don't? In-depth content. Currently, our content is a slight overview. We have some trivial information and general game information. We need more. We need character information, a good writeup on the canon, and game help. The goal is to make SFO the one-stop-shop for everything Star Fox. Need help with a SF game, We'll have it. Question about Wolf O'Donnel? We'll have the answer. Want to share a fanfic? We'll accommodate. How will CCI work? I still need to work-out the technical details, but it will involve submitting your writeups for review either by myself or by a new staff position, an editor. Once accepted, they will be published in the appropriate section. It will probably be based on the IP.Content article system, which can automate these things. When will CCI start? Hopefully within the next couple of weeks. I need to get the media section back online first. That is turning out to be a big project, so I need to scale that back. Probably back to static pages until I can figure something out. What kind of content do we want? Anything! But, there are priorities: Character bios, Vehicle info, Story guides, and game guides are the primary concerns at the start. There will be some quality standards, of course. The only for sure's on that right now are must be written with good grammar and all information must be truly canon. The final standard will be detailed when the CCI kicks-off.

Fluxy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Probably one of my few posts that I will be making while on Hiatus, but I can only say that I am fully into supporting this. I think it says a lot about our site when you see that the topic relating to the Star Fox Series is the third main page, rather than 1st. I would be much more than happy to focus my writing into something that will be useful to others, and the site, other than just myself. Simple weekly random info's and posts, including interesting facts and what not would make for a great looking face for this site, and definitely attract more over time in my opinion. I want to help, and if ideas want to be ran by someone willing to do a good portion of writing, feel free to send me the PM/IM. I still should be getting emails when I am PM'd here.

DZComposer Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 I forgot to mention that one of my goals for this is to replace our failed wiki with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"User" Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I forgot to mention that one of my goals for this is to replace our failed wiki with this. So would it be frowned upon to take data from other Star Fox wiki's then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner/Technical Admin Sideways Posted May 31, 2011 Owner/Technical Admin Share Posted May 31, 2011 Maybe we could have some sort of Video walkthroughs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Word-for-word, yes. But canon data is canon data. I don't care where you originally learned it, so long as there is an original canon source for it. But it should be in your own words. As far as video walkthroughs, that is definitely possible. In fact, I was thinking of getting an SF64 one thrown up before SF43D drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fox Runner Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I wouldn't mind writing the character bios, as I did some of that for the Wiki when we tried that idea. I have the Adventures and the Assault strategy guides to help me out with that (Yet I don't have the all important SF64 guide.) Just tell me when you're ready for content and I'll get started. I got all summer to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 SF64 guide will be scanned and posted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkyway64 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This idea excites me. I'm sure Robert would help out too since he, in his own words, is a walking StarFox encyclopedia. =V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 The CCI is almost ready! The technical details have been sorted, the editor has been chosen (Dras), and the basic layout has been added to the site. There is a new board, Community Content, which is a subforum to SFO Stuff. This is where content submission should happen. Stay tuned for info on how to submit content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkstarfox Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Sounds like fun waiting to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
