Jon B is another code guy. And I know that both Shrift and I are learning PHP now. And that's just people who have spoken up lately. We'll have it covered if we need it.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Okay, we're all set. Should Chow Yun Fat propose to ita tomorrow, we'd have no problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, Chow better not hurry, since the only solid offer of up to speed PHP/MySQL assistance I've had has been from Burrell's DH. There's been intern discussion, and Gud's volunteered to help as his schedule allows.
But we've by no means got anything solid in place.

I would also be willing to intern, though my coding background is so Redmond-based it's not funny.

Ha! See, I was right. Though I do think Gar has volunteered to help too.

Yeah , but the problem is I do short term contracts right now. So I can't be reliable. I'm an unreliable source of occasional help for the future, though I haven't helped at present.

One thing though - the Zine thing would not cause a hurge labor increase. I mean, there is no coding involved, just plain Vanilla HTML. And I don't think we need a full fledge editor - more an accept/reject person - who could be a volunteer with zero coding skills.
But of course that does not eliminate the larger issue. One thing someone (Evil Jimi?) said in a joking tone, was that the developers might sell the code. Obviously that would have to wait until a future version. (OK, not obviously - but I suspect it would be better). But why not. ita and others just put a year of their lives into developing this. If they can find buyers, why shouldn't they get paid for their labor?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I was wondering, how much more visible to others would having content make us. I mean, would it be the same as now, or do you think other parts of the Buffy fandom would be more likely to look us up if they're searching for content, and is that a good or bad thing.

It's true -- who is the content FOR? Us? We have plenty of content, right here, in every post. Last time this got tossed around, we were going to take a middle road of site-promotion. Adding content seems to up that ante.
