Now that we've moved to Apolyton and are past the "beta" stage, it's important that the Web Site remain current. As I've said before, it's very much YOUR site, and it's incumbent upon Dom and I to respect your wishes. We want you to use the Web Site as your Clash work space, and that means each model page should be accurate and up-to-date. Although the look-and-feel of each page should be similar, they don't have to be identical.

For example, if the Disease guru uses several "non-Clash" web sites to assist him in developing his model, by all means let's add those links to the Disease Model page. Anything which helps you "get the job done", we're prepared to support.

And of course, there's the regular stuff like model updates, new email addresses, inclusion of new team members, bug reporting, etc.

I am YOUR web editor, sometimes forgetful but always approachable! I'm not receiving much email from Team Members however, so lets try something different. We'll establish this thread as the central point for posting requests to the Web Team. That will ensure I don't "lose" an email (I get about 80/day, so it DOES happen!) or miss something that occurred in a different thread. Also, since your request is "public" I'll have an added incentive to respond promptly!

I've sent you the new manual so could it go up ASAP, thanks.

And for anybody else reading, take a lot at it and could you tell me what you think in the thread titled "The Manual".

Darren: I've updated the Interface model to reflect all the work you've done lately, including a link to your demo page.

1) The technology only allows us to post one poll per page. So if you want a "Research" poll, only one at a time can be posted on the Research Page.

2) If you also wanted a "Characters" poll, that's no problem since it would be posted on a different page.

3) We can probably create additional pages to handle second and third polls, but it does complicate things a bit. It's not a showstopper though.

4) I'll return your original email containing the Four polls, and will also forward Mark's email in which he provided different wording for Poll #2. Dom & I will make it a priority to quickly post your revisions.

RB: I'd prefer not to take down your existing version of the Tech Tree. It's inevitable that out of date models are going to be posted, otherwise almost every page on the Web Site will say little more than "Model still being revised, see forum for details". I've added a "NOTE" to that effect on the Research Page. If you insist I'll remove the existing model, but I hope you see why I'd rather not.

Coming soon are updates to:
- Coding
- Web Site FAQ
- Clash Team

Dominic is working on a new Web Site concept which involves two different sections: A new "Here's Clash!" page which is targeted for newcomers and those with only a general interest and the existing "Working Site" for Team Members and those who really want to dig deep into the Clash Universe.

If anyone has requests or new ideas, feel free to fire away!

Great job on the update. When I came in thru the Apolyton main page I saw your new headlines. They are a good advertisement, but I think they exceed the limit. You may not remember but there was a limit of something like 6-7 lines imposed per hosted page... You might just want to kill all the really old headlines in the headlines file. That would make us more or less in compliance.

Cya,

Just one thing... the link to the riots model is not working...

About changing the name for the riots model, you're maybe right. I really don't have much love for its current name...

The Climate/Ecology model will not be in Demo 5, so it shouldn't be on the demo 5 page.

Could you label the Climate/Ecology model as "Ecology"? That is what we call it on the forum and I don't want people to get confused and think it is not on the website.

My old e-mail address, the one used on the web page, no longer exists. My new e-mail is brunsr@conninc.com

Rodrigo: The link to the Riots Model is fixed. If you do want to change the name to "Revolutions Model", say the word and I'll make the adjustment.

Richard: Your new email address has been added and the model name changed from "Climate" to "Ecology". The Excel spreadsheets aren't working so please send them again (they are completely blank). If you put all three in a zip file, maybe they'll arrive uncorrupted.
