Hallo homins
This is the OOC part related to the official announcement of the Book of Guilds (run /appzone 1960) and contains non-RP technical information about the project.
My main idea was to try to write an app for Ryzom and get familiar a bit with limitations and abilities of the app zone system. The lack of a real guild list was a good opportunity, so I started work on RyGReg app. You can find first version in app zone or run (type in a chat line) /appzone 1947.
RyGReg, Ryzom Guild Registry, gets the raw guild list from the Ryzom API and extends it with some editable informations. The idea (in the end) is to give all homins an easy to use multi-lingual tool to view, search and edit guild information. Every guild leader will be able to edit the record of his/her own guild or allow some of high officers to do it, without my assistance. These two key features will allow the guild list to be kept up to date. We have had 27 new guilds formed in the short time since I started with it.
The current state is that authentication is not working, so the leader of the guild must be filled in. Then he/she can edit their own guild record without any password. If you are not listed and want to play with the data now in early stage of development, we can meet. Show me the leader title and I will add you.
All changes you do in RyGReg are also displayed in Book of Guilds, those tools share a DB. While working on RyGReg tool and thanks to positive feedback I got an idea to join my interest in guilds with some roleplay and my current idea is, if anyone interested, to make an open series of small events around the Book of Guilds and the research.
The Book of guilds is supposed to be a roleplay UI to the guild database and will reflect future changes in it. It is primarily supposed to be a roleplay supplement but covers most of the RyGReg features. I will keep it this way, but I am looking for translators. The system allows to add any number of other languages, so it is possible to translate it into your language or any of nation languages. Any help is welcomed as any other feed back.
The future of RyGReg itself is up to you all. It's not finished and it is more a demonstration of possibilities. Understand, please, that I wish to discuss all 3 main application basics:
1) Data stored about a guild
Currently there's a lot of editable options. I would like to hear what do you miss, what would be useful for you, to present your guild. URL? Activity? Time zones?
2) Data output
Since it is a database, you can basically combine everything with everything. What data are you interested in? What data are important for you to see, what to search? Which data (over)view would you use?
3) Tool UI
I am no designer and note that in-game app possibilities are limited, so RyGReg has a minimal UI, just to allow it to be used. I ask you for mock-ups and suggestions: what should the tool UI look like?
You can send me a tell or, better, an Izam Mail, but the best would if you are interested in meeting. It could combine an impromptu roleplay part with an OOC technical part following after. In case of interest, I will try to organize.
Thank you for your attention.
