Please provide feedback on this new idea for KMA?

[Jordan]

Sounds like a good plan.

[Harimau]

Worthwhile testing.

Suggest setting up an initial group and testing it on one or two articles/topics first.

[James]

Yeah. Maybe a gaming article and a novel/history article. Stuff which is fairly accessible.

I was thinking perhaps a DW6 info article (as most of that info is available) and a 'using KMA as a source' article.

You doing Wei blue for the editors? Looks very similar to the regulars...

James, I think this is a great idea- and putting up a couple of ideas to start with is also a good idea, it means people can start to contribute to it without it getting initially out of control.

I sincerely doubt that it would get out of control, but these things all need testing.

That was intentional.
What most message board authors don't understand is that if you use too many colors you wind up with a system that means absolutely nothing to new people that sign up. Colors alone aren't sufficient to represent usergroups. It may be possible to do a little more with user rank images, but we'll have to see. I'm using a shade of purple which I usually associate with Kongming's Archives (not quite sure how that plum-like color became a theme over there...)

Well how about that? I forgot you, Tongy! You've been drafted into the Kongming's Archives Editor usergroup. You're now a Kongming's Archives Editor and have suitable cause to celebrate!

As soon as the tool is complete I'll definitely be publishing some of the articles that are up. I'll probably also add a few articles myself. That will help people to see exactly how this works. I'll be adding a few more examples, too. All said and done the actual coding is no big deal. Anyone who learned basic BBCode can easily learn this too (as it is BBCode expanded with a few additions here and there). And once an article has been properly formatted odds are adding new content is simply a matter of copying and pasting. Code in an article like this tends to be rather repetitive.

The colour you picked is very sexy.

[James]

I've always liked it.

Editors have purple names.
