This is awesome. Project Awesome.

What is Project Awesome?

Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused.

There is a possibility of prizes for Awesome contributions to project Awesome. We shall see.

Master List of Awesome

  • THEME
    • Project Awesome needs an awesome theme (graphical, etc) to go with it.
  • THE WIKI
    • Magmawiki project is not dead. Just slow. It's not really relevant to Project Awesome.
      • Unrelated but maybe related, Briess needs to do some server updates and downtime :(
    • We need a revamp of the main page. Heck, the entire site would be nice.
    • Evangelism page. We need one.
  • TUTORIALS
    • There are some good tutorials out there, and many outdated ones.
  • NEWBIE KIT (?)
    • Maybe a pregenerated world packaged with DF? Who knows if this would even be useful or not.
    • (Maybe 2x2 embark, 7 dwarves, pocket sized world, with simple farm setup, simple workshop layout, simple row housing so someone can see how certain things work?) Possibly also have a small area with screwpumps built to pump water back and forth between two small ponds or floodgate + lever to empty lake into river, and lever + 2-3 high pumpstack+water wheel to refill lake?
  • PRIZES (?)
    • If this happens, it'll probably be t-shirts, pending Toady's permission. We would need t-shirt designs that are Awesome.
