School of Team Fortress: Volunteers needed!

cownaetion · 03-07-2008, 11:28 PM

EDIT: Added 'Location' to the list. Thanks Mule, missed that one

EDITx2: Thanks Circ, another thing I missed. Do not have to be pro

Alright, time to get this thing rolling. This has been talked about and quite a few people have said they'd do something like this if it ever started, so let's try just that. If we can get enough volunteers we can get this thing underway. As Circ pointed out, you don't have to be a professional. I made up a short list (that is no where complete) that each person should try to fill in. This will also give a good idea of where we stand in certain areas.

Pre-SoTF List for Teachers:

Name: <duh>

Experience: Here, feel free to list which area of expertise you could help the most. If you feel like there's something else to list, go right ahead.
Can be one or more of the following: Gameplay (AvD, CP, CTF), Skills, Specific Classes, Mapping.

Contact: Best way to contact you. If multiple, feel free to list.

Schedule: Best available time you would be able to teach.

Location: Where your located.

That's all for now. If someone thinks anything is missing feel free to add, this is by no means complete or final. Thanks all and hopefully we are able to work together for the benefit of the community.

Nice description

Six people so far, not too shabby. A few more and I think it will smooth out. I'll start on a website tomorrow that will at the moment just hold all the information that is in this thread.

Question for everyone: What would be the best way to use 'School of Team Fortress' as a domain name? sotf.org, schooloftf.org, schoolofteamfortress.org?
Any suggestions?

Well the solution would be to register both and have one redirect. schoolofteamfortress.org is probably the best cause it's what people would expect if they had to look for it. You tell someone to goto Pepsi's website or almost any brand-name for that matter and they'll have the abbreviated URI's just redirect to the main site, which is usually spelled out. We could always add the domain later if it does pick up and causes confusion.

So schoolofteamfortress.org is probably it then?

Dr.Satan · 03-09-2008, 04:03 AM

perfect!

reaper18 · 03-10-2008, 02:23 AM

so will each teacher have a section in this website for their contact info and what they do and such? and will there be forums?
also
schooltf.com might work

cownaetion · 03-10-2008, 03:40 AM

For content on the site, teachers will have a page to view their details. Also I'd like to get a calendar up there so it's easy to keep track of schedules. I was also thinking that for some of the training sessions it might be a good idea for the teachers to record a short demo, perhaps 15 minutes, that others would be able to view to learn and/or demo how well this works out and if they'd be interested. I'm gonna put a forum up there though how much use it will get at this point in time will be minimal since everyone's mainly here, which is no big deal. I was thinking phpBB but we'll see, nothings ever in stone when it comes to this kind of stuff. I'll have a couple mock ups of the home page tomorrow. When it comes to design I'm pretty bad (my maps back that up

) so just bear with me. I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of suggestions on what to add/change, which is totally fine by me. I'll be more efficient when it comes time to code it. I'm no pro but definitely better than a designer in that comparison

Also I registered schoolofteamfortress.org. We'll see how well it works out at that. If it turns out mass amount of people are having difficulty with than then we can look into other domains and redirecting them.

Dr.Satan · 03-10-2008, 05:26 AM

great news! Let me know if you need help with any coding and / or design or what not.
