In another post, we finally got rid of the outdated and obsolete stable/unstable naming convention (thank you Depri) and I think that is one first step into the right direction to make this game more accessible to the casual player (Check post: https://tinyurl.com/ybbtaqqz).
For a second usability step, I'd love to update/relaunch the wiki/website of JA 2 1.13 (http://ja2v113.pbworks.com/w/page/4218339/FrontPage).
What I thought about is the following:
- Set up a fresh WordPress installation on a new domain (e. g. ja2-1-13.com).
- Add the main contributors as admin users (e. g. DepressivesBrot, Flugente, silversurfer, RoWa21 etc.).
- Start by putting up the must-have information first (e. g. latest release, download location, installation routine, important fixes, etc.).
- Consequently expand by adding nice-to-have stuff (e. g. mod overview, shortcuts, hints, new features, etc.).
- Still keep it simple and easy to browse and find - no information overflow.
Everybody's time is rather scarce, so we won't be able to do this over night and I won't be able to do this myself.
As for the first step, I'd pay the domain and host it on my managed cloud server from 1&1.
All files could stay as they are, we would just redesign the entry point/frontend for the user, so the effort needed would somewhat be manageable.
Like I said, I would commit myself for setting up the WP installation, the structure, the main design and later on the SEO.
I'd still need some other guys committing content, either whenever I'm not sure about certain steps (e. g. game's technical) and of course on a regular basis (e. g. as blogposts) to keep the site interesting and moving to the top of Google.
As Flugente already published short video clips on YouTube about new 1.13 features, I'd love to get him for the new features blogpost part.
First: Would this be ok with owner of http://ja2v113.pbworks.com?
Second: What do you guys think about this?
Third: Who would be willing to contribute for a certain part?
