Well, it's 00:34 GMT, in a little under 11.5 hrs, the voting will close. It maybe premature to talk of this now, but what happens next. We need to consider our options.
It looks like about a 50/50 on the restart issue, with about 95% in favour of a rebadge (guestimates). In all honesty, I cant see the percentages changing much in the next 11 hrs. This means a.c.h.o has overwhelmingly voted for a merger, using the same acc #, with a new name, website, domain, BB (and how nice is that???) and a new paint job.
I hold the account for a.c.h.o , so in 11:30 hrs time, I'll likely be re-naming the account. For the interim, I suggest the
ACHO_SDL_PCC_Collective.
account # 2136075668
Can anyone smell a dump comming ;)
This shoul carry us over untill the new team reach a consensus on the name. I think this should be first priority, because we've a domain name to register. Sometime thereafter, we'll need to sort out the new BB image, we'll have to chat with Phill on that. I've posted a link elsewhere to a suggested web page, again we'll need the team input for design comments, badging etc. We'll also have to discuss moderators, i suggest existing team leaders/mods should all be mods in the new forum (but then I would :biggrin:). We'll also need input from coders and script writes, html guru's etc, 'cos we've got to sort out the stats page. We need to write up some kind of bot or script to amalgamate stats - so volunteers please.
Anything else?
It'd help if you are good at something above, to reply here and offer your services. This goes out to anyone who thinks they will be part of the forthcomming merger. Also, please reply with suggestions for badging logo's etc. There is already a team name thread, I think we should keep discussion on that to the thread concerned. Again, any input from anyone concerned with the merger is welcome. we don't know each others skills just yet. Regarding the website, I'm hopefull that Michael from SDL will maintain that. He's done a superb and dedicated job with the SDL site, I don't think I've ever seen such a motivated webmaster - he definitely gets my vote.
Opinions?
Wow, we've got a ton of work and redecorating to do - gonna be fun though.
I'm seriously looking forward to all this (perhaps you can tell :biggrin:),
Regards
