Well, I've done a ton of work to build a foundation for the TW Museum. But I need to shift my focus to other things right now (like working on TW) and would like to request the community to help me continue to grow it. In particular, I would like help with

a) The gameplay area. This is basically supposed to be an introduction to the game for someone who's never seen it. It would have a walkthrough of the screens and menus, as well as information about various features of the game, tutorial areas for particular types of play, etc. However, I want it to be pretty general, not specific to the way the game is played today. Talk about trading in general, for example, not about how to run a certain type of script.

b) I want to have an area devoted to the scripting revolution. I'd like to have a scripting timeline (which would include early telnet apps with macros, helpers and their evolution, down to TWXProxy and modern systems). Also an area where scripts can be download, maybe with descriptions.

c) Any of the other areas can be expanded by either adding new things (apps, websites, documents, etc) or by adding details to the ones that are there.

Anyone willing to help out, I'd really appreciate it. And if you find you can't do enough with an anonymous account, I'll create a user account so you have full access.

Again, the website is http://wiki.classictw.com

Not sure if you've been to our site recently, but we have the main section showing some of the internal game screens. As well, we just revamped and have been adding to the TW Academy Database. If there is anything there you want me to expand on and submit to you, let me know. Always willing to set time aside to help out.

Thanks, Thrawn! As soon as I have some time, I'll get in there and have a look. There are so many great sites I still need to go through.
