2006-12-11 [xido]: I will be able to do more work on these pages between Dec. 17th and Dec. 31, when I am on break from classes.
-will

2006-12-22 [DanClark]: And how does one join this interesting group?

2006-12-23 [xido]: Consider yourself in. Begin by watching the involved pages (Begin watching this wikipage) of the units, and the art/media page, and feel free to contribute your ideas, input, questions, and personal motivations/research, and as time goes by, all of these things will contribute to the overall effect of the pages here.

I am open to all comments, suggestions, and questions of all topics. I will add your name above if you would like me to, and watching all of these pages earns you a Woodland Drake degree in Dragon Scales... It means that you are a newly-applied student with an interest in the classroom area and its discussions on Dragons and the above page content. All pages can be commented on, and I will answer them as I have more and more time. Content will be posted to the page as I develop more discussion and rhetoric for the pages. ;)

Happy holidays, and thanks for your interest!
-will

2006-12-27 [xido]: Thanks, and let me know by comment when you are watching all of these pages, Dan. ;)

2007-01-23 [The Dizzy Raven]: Thanks, will! ^_^

2007-01-23 [xido]: <img:44166_1164145221.gif><img:44166_1164903263.gif>
Thanks for helping out. I appreciate it. ;)
Give me ideas if you ever come up with another idea for assignments or future topics, too. I will post info that I like, but I will also try to cover topics that gain more and more interest, too. Assignments are open to discussion, but my degree offers are always final, unless noted otherwise. ;) I think that's fair. They are pretty clear on that page.

2007-01-23 [The Dizzy Raven]: You're welcome! Okay. ^_^

2007-01-24 [ArchangelGabriel]: Acctualy i was going to make a suggestion, i'd love to know what people think: How about combing the two pages? Adopting a common template and admin forum and let all the teachers do as they want. I realise looking back on it that dracology has gone pretty stale because the only person who ever worked on it was me. I think it would be good to get more people working on the same project. I would love to know what people think?

2007-01-28 [xido]: Anyone who openly opposes being posted on the Draconic Clan's members will be removed with care and understanding. Expect a few shifts in how to join and watch this page's content.
Thanks!
-will

2007-02-07 [xido]: Lobsang, I am ready to see what you propose. The password is removed and the content prepped.

However we choose to separate it, it should be clear and concise. Whatever we create for content, let's create it in divions. I am open to and and all suggestions and edits, provided we use some measure of this content, and keep my language pages the same (or at least separately-formatted to accompany another project I have going).

If you would like, I would love to ask [Artsieladie] for some input on graphics, because she can make transparent images suitable for ET's wikipages.
-will

2007-02-27 [DanClark]: Handbags?

2007-02-27 [Artsieladie]: I see I'm not the only one that's questioning the "handbag comment"! >..<

2007-02-28 [windowframe]: Seems to be one of the problems of exported pages. -.-

2007-02-28 [Artsieladie]: Oh, you're right! That's it, b/c it's set at non-members can comment. Dah, me! Now why didn't I think of that? >..<

2007-03-06 [xido]: Should I pull that ability down to simply those who are on Elftown? I did it so that we could get web commenting from outside input as well, and I have many wikipages which are experiencing this issue....

(Thanks for the message, M'lady Artsie.)
-will

2007-03-06 [Artsieladie]: You're welcome, but as long as comments with links of potential threats can be deleted, I, myself, like to know what outsiders think & there's always the possibility that some of these outsiders might like enough of what they see to want to join ET. If it becomes or is a bigger hassle than you feel it's worth, then I'd change the setting, even if for awhile. Sometimes things come in waves & then peter out. It's not like the setting can't be changed or adjusted. :P

2007-03-06 [xido]: Very true. Thanks for the input.

2007-03-06 [Artsieladie]: Eh, no thanks necessary for it just a mere thought, but you're welcome. :)

2007-04-27 [xido]: Thank you all who have been so patient with the changes to the classroom area. Please keep watch on this page and Dracology for more updates. Thanks to everyone who is willing to contribute. After we finalize the layout and list of pages, you will all get a note about which pages to watch and contribute to. Hopefully, all classroom pages will utilize the 'Dragon Handbook', wherever that ends up being.

We are currently developing a template on draco_tp which, when finished, will format all pages linked to it for graphics and formatting.

The ECM's next session is going to be for Dragons (which will most likely happen this spring-summer). The final content will be posted to Dragon on the Creature_List, and Dracology will set the bar high for others to showcase their writing and artistic talents.

The Draconic Clan is going to support these contests, and will most likely have a group to sponsor in the session.

Any other ideas or input? ;)

2008-08-12 [xido]: Holy gods, I have had no time to work on anything I really wanted to have finished. I hate life. :P ;)
-will

2008-08-13 [The Dizzy Raven]: Would you like me to help with anything?
