Hi! Everyone is currently using both 'our' wiki (not that we wrote the software) and our registration process to tell the world they are running SFD: obviously the process is not perfect and we have for quite some time been thinking of improving the process. Among the current weaknesses I'd like to highlight the one I am aware of: - each new year requires participants to copy country and city information (or not...) - some people do not use the templates available or don't spend the extra time to update country, city and links to their pages - some people are just simply confused by the wiki - the tags which help to find teams/events are not always kept, or modified without much thinking - some teams just create the wiki page and do not go through the registration process - the event description which is requested on the form is not copied to the team wiki page - some teams feel that they should be the only team in their area to promote SFD and therefore remove the ease to add a new team. And the fact that some teams just create the default team page and never ever modify it. But that's probably a different issue ;-) The map and the wiki are for potential visitors to find out that there is an event in their area. Some teams do beautiful and very informative pages. Some run their own website and present the event as a complimentary activity to what they are already doing, and it's great either way. As we announced in the past, the software we're maintaining for the registration process is Free Software. We haven't published it yet because it sucks. It's hard to install, hard to change the date and keep the whole thing updated. Maps pointers can't be easily updated as well. So it's time to make a change to that! We still feel that providing the wiki gives people an easy way to have a page (or more) to display the event, saving them hosting and more. But maybe we're wrong and we should just have a basic page with simple details on it? Again at registration time we expect a lot of things to change... The wiki also allows for a lot of extra information to be added but could be separated from the registration all together? Likewise registration is useful both the get the address of the team we will be shipping goodies to, and to somehow know about the events worldwide, so visitors can easily figure out if there anything around the corner (and eventually what's happening). So either way please let us know how you would like this to happen and we'll try to improve based on your feedback. Thanks a lot. Fred
