Done!

Thanks Nyn.

A tiny tweak:

Could the main heading read just

Guild of Maintainers

... or

Welcome to the Guild of Maintainers

and leave out the first paragraph of 'Welcome!' in this second option?

With the return to the cavern, we ought to update the website.

How should we go about this? Does anyone want to get involved?

Oh, we were just going to leave it up to you, Dot, as the resident editor. :lol:

Kidding.

I can help take a stab at some new verbiage, but it'll have to wait till later tonight. I'm not feeling all that hot today and need to focus on work this afternoon. If anyone else wants to take a go at it, be my guest.

It seems that the text has gone back to an earlier version.

Here's a suggested updated version.

Quote:

Welcome!

The mission of the Guild of Maintainers is:
To serve the Community, throughout the Cavern and Ages.

While the Uru community waited patiently for the Cavern to be officially reopened, the guild continued to be active in many areas.

The main work of the guild is to inspect explorer-written Ages (checking them in other words) both while they are being developed (should the writer ask for this) and after they have been released to the wider community.

Then, as with the D'ni maintainers of old, some present-day maintainers are students of the Art of Age Writing. In parallel with the Guild of Writers, the guild offers resources, tutorials, trouble-shooting discussion and support to all.

Now the Cavern has been reopened to all, many members are involved in organising social events and role-playing opportunities.

Others have set up areas in other online worlds where sections of the Uru community have gathered. For example, on the OSgrid and in Second Life, guild members are particularly involved with the Devokan areas, developing skills in building, scripting, puzzle-making, story-telling.

Why 'Devokan'? -- Because it is the D'ni word for 'hope'. For it is with hope that we continue to move forward as a guild, keeping the Uru dream alive in our work and in our friendships.

That works for me. Do we need to look at the various Department descriptions to make sure their text is accurate? I haven't glanced at them lately, but I don't remember if we mentioned the Cavern being closed or left them generic....

The Department texts seem mostly accurate. There's a typo in the Personnel department. "questsions" instead of "questions".

The main text looks fine to me too.

Updated the website main text and fixed the typo.
