[21:17] <Eckels> i had an idea for a front page that i think would be awesome if it was a collaboration
[21:17] <Shadowblazer> lay it on me ape man
[21:17] <Eckels> all it would be is a front page, with links to like, ZC, SE and the forums
[21:18] <Eckels> but it would be different with each refresh
[21:18] <Eckels> and there could be a bank of like 50 or 100 pages
[21:18] <Shadowblazer> oh my
[21:18] <Eckels> nothing crazy, all simple, but kinda artistic
[21:18] <Shadowblazer> that's... interesting
[21:18] <Shadowblazer> yesss...
[21:18] <Eckels> i thought it would be cool if we had a few people, like you, me, maybe JJmax, a few others
[21:18] <Eckels> to come up with 10 or so pages
[21:18] <Shadowblazer> yeah, I like that
[21:18] <Eckels> and they'd all be put up as the main page
[21:18] <Eckels> dig it?
[21:19] <Shadowblazer> I could certainly whip something up
[21:19] <Shadowblazer> definitely
[21:19] <Eckels> yeah, i mean totally simple
[21:19] <Eckels> i want to create a forum for it
[21:20] <Eckels> which i'll probably do, and invite people to join in
[21:20] <Eckels> not a public forum
[21:20] <Eckels> but a staff forum
[21:20] <Eckels> maybe we could allow public contests
[21:20] <Eckels> for extra pages
[21:20] <Shadowblazer> yeah, good idea
[21:20] <Eckels> that would be cool too
[21:20] <Eckels> ok i'll make the forum
[21:21] <Shadowblazer> yay
Ok so that's it in a nutshell..
The pages can be as basic or as complicated, as dynamic or as static as you want them to be, but keep in mind they all have to be nothing more than a porthole to AG. A link to the forums, a link to ZC, and a link to SE.
We would also have to decide on a few ground rules, like should each page be "signed" by the author? I thought that was a neat idea. What should the total filesize of the page and all necessary files be (for instance Flash, or Javascript files), and do we want universal compatibility (dumbed down code) on some of the more treat filled pages, or do we care little enough about that to let people have some uni-platform fun?
