1 Making of a new "race" application (Riasan)
The current race app is very old and doesn't allow to control for potential cheating, such as using speed or inv eggs, acceleration stanza, etc. So it ended in rankings where the order of the players had to be manually adjusted in case of blatant cheating, but is nonetheless still distorted. It's the reason why Riasan (from Dev-Ark Group) has created a new race app, with lots of automatic checks. This app is intended for the volunteers in charge of the events and will be used to create mektoub races, but also treasure hunts.
The beta version is done and waiting for test.

2 Atysmas events (PtitBill, Riasan, Ryalor)
In order to continue on Anlor Winn's momentum, PtitBill, Riasan and Ryalor (Ark group) are working on the creation of new events for Chrismas.

Q: They couldn't create RP events rather?
A: These aren't the same people who create the scripted events and the events played in RP. Not the same groups either.

3 Recruitment
The Ark Group is recruiting!
Generally speaking (and it's not exhaustive), motivated people, with some free time to be volunteers, and wishing especially to take part in the writing (scenario) of the future missions and in their script writing with the creation tool "Ryzom Arkitect" (aka Ark).

1 Access for players to the first component of the Ryzom Arkitect (Ark) tool: the scenographic editor

Unless unexpected events, the scenographic editor should be open for players before Christmas, which will allow them to participate if they wish to the collective construction of the village of Atysmas this year. An announcement will be made to explain this scenographic editor, which allows to set a scenery.
The next step will be the access for players to the second (and last) component of Ark: the scenario editor which, as the name suggests, will allow to create scenarios.

Q: Is the scenographic editor a new feature?
A: It's mainly additions to the client.

2 50 Matis rite "Geography": "A view of the Kingdom" (Daemonixus)
The arrival of Ryzom on Steam, the upgrade to the V3, the mishaps but, also and above all, the lack of Arkitects have much delayed the project of the 50 Matis rite.
Luckily, the Ark group widened with the arrival of Daemonixus a few months ago. After a learning time, Daemonixus has just taken over the script of the rite in Ark. It is his sole task, so that this rite will be finally implemented.

This sounds awesome! :D
