In Response To: Marathon Dictionary? (HolyMcGibblets)

For the most part, this dictionary idea seems to be welcome. I guess we'll go ahead with it.

So.

We'll need to do several things. First, we'll probably need to decide how to organize it (Wikipedia, HTML, Text File). Then we'll have to assemble a list of entries. After we're sure about the entries, we'll create a format for the entries and then divide it amongst those who are interested in working on it.

I expect this to take a while, as there are lots of Marathon terms. I'll start writing down a list of terms and what sort of things should be included with them.

This project is much too big for me to handle alone (hence the judicious use of "we"). If you are interested in helping, then go ahead and post something along those lines. We'll need people to write entries, people to check the entries for factual correctness, and people to edit entries for grammar or spelling mistakes-- at least, for the moment. If we decide to do an HTML or Wikipedia thing, then we will need a webmaster too.

So, uh, let's get this going. I'll work on the entries list and then post it when I'm nearing completion.
