I'm thinking about for a long time. I want to open an SC dedicated portal, with rankings, tutorials, tournaments, news etc. An SC heaven. Primary focus on video content, 5-10 minute, on very specific topics.
Anyone willing to help out a bit? I'm open to put money into it for hosting, some better graphics and structuring it nicely with filtering etc. I'm ready to roll.
Need help with:
- setting up a webpage, I don't care if it's wordpress or other template, as long as it's neat and has got functionalities around news / filtering / addons like rankings or some forum - graphics - video editing, or at least an intro for me
Personally i'm willing to make few videos a week, on everything from super basics into deep strategic analysis.
Ping me on TL so we can discuss details

Hey, I could help for graphics and video editing. Will send you a PM.
|
Lovely, will ping you in the evening (CET)

starlog.gg's guy hooked me up with Blizzard Leaderboard's API. If you're keen to host a server I can probably help with showing the Leaderboard.

That would be relevant for later parts, let's stay in touch! I'm going to discuss 1st steps today.

I remember Artosis mentioned that we really need a single place to go, something like Brood War only portal. If you can make it happen it would be super cool! Russian reps.ru is still down. I really want to help out with stuff at some point but there's too much work at the moment. I might join in later to help with website design and coding, but could not promise that yet.
There is one thing I'd like to bring up. If you are to make a web portal let's make it in the oldschool style, so it would be accessible even on my Asus EEEPC with 512mbs of RAM on outdated browser under Windows XP. I still play some games on ICCUP using this toaster and it would be great to access this portal from it. I guess I'm not alone. Don't put too much emphasis on JavaScript shiny frameworks that overload old browsers. Ideally make it accessible even for 640x480 screen sizes. sclegacy was like that, reps.ru was like that, teamliquid did a great job staying compatible and works fine with the older browsers. For example reddit, gmail, youtube do not work anymore, they use too much of modern JavaScript technologies. This might sound crazy but if you have time pay attention to that aspect as well.

I totally share where you're coming from. There is a lack of centered bw content. We used to be first citizens on TL, now we're second rate citizens of a second rate game. However, on liquipedia there is still a nice separate bw section. Maybe you could start something on there? Wiki is just another template like wordpress, and I'm sure the ppl who run it are more than willing to help you set another page up there. That way you could kickstart your idea without loosing the vast archive that has been build up in the past.
|
By the way a good question.. Does TL own the rights to the content that was published there before, or the ownership belongs to the author/it's completely free?
|
I've been working on creating a curriculum for new players based on the common questions people have in the CPL. My hope is that sometime next year I'll have the full thing planned out and start to work on producing video content to handle it. I was planning to involve as many of the CPL coaches as I could, yourself included Koget!
If you are planning to do something similar I'd love to collaborate. I was just planning on putting them up on youtube, but a full portal could be fantastic.

it would be nice if someone knows how to implement a betting system for tournaments and clan leagues as gosugamers had back in time...

I really like this idea, I would be interested in helping out if I can. Pretty bad myself but I like casting and helping the foreign scene in general.

Rather than go through all the effort of creating entirely new information, which is a massive undertaking, you should try and organize and streamline something that already exists.
As we already are aware, unless something has changed that I'm unaware of (can be true!) Starlog is going to go bye-bye. Maybe speaking to the owner/admin of that for ideas or possibilities of keeping Starlog around and using that huge resource as a staging ground to properly display the information you need (ie, improve Starlog somehow) would be a better idea?
Or as has already been said here, Liquipedia (LP) already exists and contains much of what you already say, but in need of some sort of organization and updating project.
Not trying to be a wet blanket here, but some things to consider, because based on the responses I'm sort of feeling like people who have spectacular intentions are maybe not understanding how much work would be involved a project like this. After all, if it was easy, it'd have been done already.
Just some thoughts here.
