I'd be happy to get into writing articles again, since it's been a while. I also wouldn't mind scouring the entire article database for articles with messed up encoding, lower quality, wrong section assignment, and the occasional duplicate entries that occurred in years past since there was no way to delete articles.

Articles are and always were my kind of thing. I just love them.

Too the reviewers: It would be cool, if the reviews had a general guideline for scoring. And if there are more then one review, the GW Score for the game would be the average of the total reviews.

Yeah I second this, it just seems like the best idea to me.

Keep up the good work everyone working on this!

Just throwing this out there, but I can still write articles. I'd love to do this if we get a strong front page audience like back in the day. Before it became impossible to post anything, we weren't getting any comments due to the bug that hid the names of the posters. If this kind of stuff gets fixed, I think the article portion of the site could be just as awesome as it used to be.

Bart, is there any way you could make a list of exactly what sort of staffers you need, and what you need them to do? I'm interested in a position (who isn't though) but I'm not sure what would be needed the most, and what I'd be most useful for.

Sorry I was gonna reply to this but then STUFF CAME UP

Rowain is still an admin and will probably iron out an official list of what we need and do all that hiring business, but he won't be doing it until GW comes closer to completion

Yeah, I don't want to hire people since final sections and features are WIP and I don't want inactive staff for 5 months before it goes live.

Sounds cool, Bart. I might actually want to lend my talents of doing nothing again. :<

I could do that with tutorials, or it might take a bit longer.

Old content will be moved over yes, it'll just take a bit of time figuring out what can be moved and what needs to go.

What about hiring people (not that I am offering, too lazy) to check through the old content (maybe spell check tutorials and correct any mistakes) to find what is worth transferring/re-submitting when GW6 is ready?

Ask and you shall recieve.

Yeah thats a good idea, having a team of loyal GWer's search the site in a seemly organised order to flesh out the broken stuff and possibly give some quality feedback, Is there any rough estimation as to when this can get underway?
