Welcome to thewhiteshores - thank you for joining us!

baranduin and I would very much like to know how you'd like to see the community develop. If you have any thoughts or ideas about the running of the community and/or what you'd like to see here, please let us know. We will gladly welcome any help you have to offer.

Also, if anyone would like to make icons, create a background or banner, we'd love to hear from you. I am going to write up the profile page. Would someone be willing to send something to middleearthnews to announce the community to a wider audience?

Thanks again for joining us.

I have been thinking about organization. There could be:

- a master page listing everyone remembered on this community. That would be a sticky page at top.
- a master page for each individual that could consist of a number of things like:
:: a bio of sorts that could contain all kinds of things and links. I'm thinking the format of the old crack_van rec format could be adapted to fit our needs.
:: posts about the person could be tagged with the person's name
:: links to other posts and resources about the person

We would need to have volunteers to do the organizing and putting together of things. I know I'd like to do one for thamiris, the first person whose lj I read.

I like the idea of a tag for each person's name.

I think if we get the tags right, that'll cover a lot.

I had just come in here again thinking I would suggest the tagging by person!

Those are all great other ideas, too!

Yep. The use of tags is the basic building block for organization. Even if we don't go any further than that, if we remember to tag (and mods regularly review the tagging) we should be good.

That sounds good to me.
