AnimeNfo News Blog Volunteers wanted! Hi all, I'm writing this post on behalf of shinka, who's managed to get the ball rolling on beginning the process for creating a news blog for animenfo. He's asked me to create this thread so that he can get the ball rolling.
This thread is for seeking out volunteers with helping to create/design the section (strictly volunteer basis of course), and you'd have to be proficient in PHP or CGI. Any one who's willing to help out, please make a post in this thread.

Hi everyone!
Well, as Stick said, we have a new project to start off! More than one it seems XD.
The idea is to start a place related to our beloved animenfo which would specialize in gathering information regarding anime and manga which could then be discussed in our forums.
The idea is to gather up people now willing to be commited and be responsible. I know there are a quite a few oof our regulars that can code, and of course, any other person who wants to be a hand is more than welcomed. Any and all help is appreciated.
Currently, we are just looking for people who can code, as for "reporters", that'll be later on.
We are couting on you guys! Just leave a post saying you want to help out

Sorry but I'll be the first to say I don't know shit about coding. But when you do get around to looking for "reporters" or for people to trawl the net, I may be useful.

I actually suggested something like this (news updates on the front page) some time ago, but as you can see, it didn't go very well...
*Kicks himself* I'm so lazy sometimes, dammit --__--'
I'd love to help out, but since I'm at the time has a lot to do, I don't want to promise more than I can keep, so we'll have to see what I eventually can do when this comes up.

Awesome! No help is too small. Thanks Vulcan!
I was thinking though, since there seems to be an initiative to update the forum, all coders should head over there first, updating the site is more important I belive. That means, unfortunately, that this project will be put on hold for a while, so as to have all available resources focus on whats more important right now.
Anyone who wants to be a part of this is still more that welcomed to drop his/her name on this thread, so in the future, when the project is once more
In the meanwhile however, I do invite everyone to pitch in with ideas, so as to at least advance a bit.
Everyone's name whsoe is on this thread I'll take them as volunteers and, by next week, I'll initate them in my own ideas for the page, and then we can brainstorm.
Chip in people! Now is not the time to be shy!

Whatever discussions, keep me in the loop. I log on here almost everyday so as long as you post any info/discussion in this thread, it'll get to me in no time.

Bleh, I've volunteered before but couldn't pull through for other things, but at least keep me in the loop for this. By the time things come around to actually working on this, I might actually have the time and willpower.
I should be starting a new job next week, but I have been programming PHP professionally for the past two years, and I'll still probably be keeping my hand in it in the future at the new position (though I'll also start getting into Ruby and Flex too). And hopefully, the new position will give me more time to work on outside projects than the past two jobs gave me.

Shinkipoo you know you can't leave me outta this. You know I have wayyyy too much time on my hands so if there's anyone that can do the best netscouring(sp?), its most definitely me. Other than that though I'm pretty much useless when it comes to coding, although I know a few simple things here and there.

More people! Good, good. It seems we have quite few volunteers for news searching and posting, we are however still lacking on the programmers side, so anyone who can code in php feel free to drop your name, we are needing you!
Thanks!

@hunter, could you specify for what exactly is it you are volunteering? Coding or news searching?

i can help out with coding on the site. i remember there was supposed to be the next version of the site as well a while ago... if that project is halted i can help out there too since I was hoping that some of those changes will be done to make it more useful when im trying to search animes
email is the best way to get in touch with me

ok what's going on with this? Has there been any word on whether this is going to be happening? It's been a number of months since shinka stopped posting, and I've heard nothing about this.
I'm just starting to think this has failed before it even got off the ground.

Yeah, I think I ended dropping the ball here as the only coder on the project. Though having a full day neck deep in PHP and database for work just doesn't give for much motivation on coding in PHP and database in my free time.
I still have a folder with the bit of work I had done; I was setting up a Drupal install to build at least a prototype for this.
As for Shinka, I think I saw him on AIM earlier this morning; I'll try to catch him next time I see him.

Well, I did also some hard work on a new header graphic for the news blog:
Check it out...
In reality, that was just going to be a place-holder while I was building out a new site. Feel free to use it...

Just so people know; we still accept people that want to help out with the news section of AnimeNfo, be it suggestions to make it better or actual tracking and writing news.

Ok.. Just asking - who can write for the blog? What can be written in the blog (except for anime news of course)?
As for suggestions, this is what I can think of (in 5 minutes):
1. Have something like "a series of the month" or "review of the month" or something on those lines.
2. Have some contests (that said, we've already had four now... what is left to be contested? )
3. Get admitted into a blog roll (like animenano). If the intention of the blog is to get more users into the site, then this *may* increase the traffic. That said, we'll need a lot more mods in case the traffic does increase.
4. We could make it a collaborative blog with multiple bloggers doing the posting - someone can take moe stuff, some other person can take seinen stuff (me! me! me!), and of course angel will be in charge of yaoi department etc...
Mind you, these are all suggestion, so feel free to shoot them down!

Everyone can write for the blog, as long as they are serious and have a good understanding of english.
One of the challenges I'm facing at the moment, is that I don't have enough material to write about, so I'm considering making it some kind of Anime news/RL World news blog.
Your suggestions are good ones, thank you. I can't however at the time being start competitions and such. I need some time to make the blog work as it is meant first.

Just a FYI:
If you have any questions about the blog, please send either an email or a pm to me, as I'm the one in charge of it.
Stick has very little to do with the blog, so please don't spam him down with questions.

If there are still spots I would like to help out with the blog. I've got buch of anime news related to Shojo, Joesi, and of course Yaoi. Real life East Asian music, and the like.
If there are spots open, I would like to join. ^^

Sorry for the late reply, I've had a lot to do lately.
The news blog has (hopefully) temporarily stopped up. I have, at the moment, no control over the further development of the blog, so you will just have to wait and see what happens.

http://anfoblog.your-startpage.com/ is the present link for the blog.
Hmmm... I don't get it - why does a blog have a login section?

That actually has an incredibly simple answer.
Only people that have been clarified by me will get the privilege to post anything at all (except comments) on the blog, and the blog needs login details to know who has these privileges.
About a link to the blog; we're working on that, and a link will hopefully soon be up on the main site again.

It was linked, but we had to take it down because we have to integrate the blog into the main site. As I said, a link to the blog will be up as soon as the blog is finished.
And just so you know how the situation is. I recently got a new job and the hours I spend there together with the hours at school, is enough to take so much of my day that I've just had time to go home and sleep the last week. So sorry that this is taking so long.
