Aldus Marius wrote:Ahh, but you do have your own Page, or at least a spot set aside for one. Go to the NR site and search for "Sextus Apollonius Draco (Nova Roma)." (That was you, wasn't it?) You'll get a notice that "This page does not exist yet", along with an invitation to write it. Yes, we each write our own! Two of 'em, actually; each editor gets a User Page, and a public page (the actual article about you) is reserved for anyone who has actually held Nova Roman public office. I believe you qualify...
Aldus Marius wrote:Anyone here who was in Nova Roma in its early years should at least consider writing historical articles about that time for the NR Wiki. They must be serious about this; they invited me! I'd especially like backup/reality checks from those who took part in the events surrounding my own tenure there. I'm sure I don't remember everything!
Aldus Marius wrote:On the idea of making parts of the SVR site into a Wiki, we've had quite a bit of discussion on that in Comitia--I believe it spawned at least three topics, if you don't count my remarks on the Annales. They're good readin'; you get to witness my long-drawn-out conversion (on being dragged into it kicking and screaming: "...bene, the Curia did most of the kicking; I just curled up on the floor and covered my head 'til they stopped..." <g>) Wiki is just a format, not every Wiki site is an encyclopedia. On ours, thoughts and observations would certainly be welcome! The main attraction of this format is that anyone--any Sodalis who has been granted Edit privileges--can add or edit their own articles. No more waiting on the Webmaster! And the contributor would be free to update, add to, or otherwise modify his or her own work. I think it would make the whole contribution process a lot more pleasant for everybody. And the Wiki setup is ideal for collaborative projects--most notably, in our case, the "oral history" I envision for our Annales.

Atticus I know has had to choose between two very promising universities, either requiring a long move. And may the gods smile upon Q Aurelius Orcus; he's still plugging away as always, and he has hosted some really neat discussions. I am grateful to anyone who continues to give so consistently over such lengths of time. Macte esto, mi Aureli!
