Backups

Does this site receive perodic backups? I'd hate to see all our work vaporize because of a disk crash or if the hosting company folded or if the aliens won... --Ethereal Cereal 10:23, 14 May 2006 (PDT)

I would assume it does. I'll contact GazChap to find out though. --Zombie 20:01, 16 May 2006 (PDT)

Well, here's my ideas for the Main Page. I think the top-level organization should be like so:

Aliens
      Alien Life Forms
      UFOs
      Missions

Logistics
      Soldiers
      Base Facilities
      Crafts
      Craft Armaments
      Equipment
           Weapons
           HWP
           Miscellaneous Equipment

Technical Info
      Bugs
      Data Tables
      Game Mechanics
           Formulas
      Game Files
      Terrain
      Scoring

Combat Tactics
      Field Manual
      Missions

Game Strategies
      Base Management
      Economics
      Research
      Interception Strategies

General Info
      X-COM Game Info
      Links
      Site Info
      Contributors

and I'd like to implement it mostly via Category pages, which are easier to maintain. It's probably going to involve little changes (navigation/links/categories, mostly) to lots of pages, so I can't prototype it very well -- once I start experimenting with how to implement it, it'll be under way.

I think the current Main Page format looks good, it's just missing a good organizational schema, like (I hope) the one I posted above.

I was thinking that we could have a mock main page where we can fiddle around with the structuring to our hearts content, and replace the real main page every so often.
