1 more thing. Some notes on the design. We'd need someon to come up with a
Logo, and some banners. I think the different subsites should not have to
look like each other but only have the main logo design on them.

Its been quite some time since this was brought up.
I have a lot of ideas for this. Right now I thought I'd bring up what • appear
to be reasons this idea won't take off.  I'll also bring up some possible
solutions as well.

Problems:

-The name. I personally like Space World but I know not all of you do.

-Web space. There is a problem with adequate space, where it should be and • a
good domain. Another problem is maintenance and who will take care of it • and
the problems that stem off of that.

-Fictional technology and story conflicts. "My universe has wormholes- • yours
doesn't" That sort of thing. This has been discussed a lot.

-Purpose? Will Space World be just to display creations and tell stories?
Will there be interaction between moc's and stories? Will there be Role
Playing involved? And so on...

Now some possible solutions:

-Name. This should not get in the way of the project. I'm sure we can • easily
come to a conclusion on this.

Web Space. Heres what I propose. Lets not have one HUGE site with a bunch • of
mocs and info and stories and such. What if we had a very small main site.
This site would have basic info such as a good logo,  a description of the
community's purpose, possibly a map of where ever the community is (this • was
discussed as being like a "Void") and links to LUGNET and .space. And • heres
where the possible solution comes in: Have the small main site have links • to
other individual specialty/Subsites which are all maintained by a • different
person. These sites in turn have general info on their subject and also a
list of links to FOL's sites pertaining to the topic. This means the • effort
of the whole project could be distributed among different people. Here are
some Subsite ideas I thought of:

     -Story Subsite. This site could host Stories and have links to sites
such as Tobias Moller's site: http://m1.876.telia.com/~u87609425/hugo/

    -Character Subsite. A list of characters with small pictures and brief
descriptions. These would in turn be linked to the creator's sites

     -Technology Subsite. Site focusing on different forms of technology • in
Space World. Descriptions(with moc examples)of different types of
engines,FTL drives,life support,weapons,exploration...you name it.

    -Building Style/Tips/Ideas Subsite Info on how a particular builder
likes to build. Tips for building big things. Tips for building small
things. Building stories. (don't laugh) So and so on.

    -Corporation Subsite. Links to the different companies people have • made
that make ships and such.

    -Possibly a general site with TEXT links to every known space website • (I
know this is ambitious but I thought I'd mention it)

     -Space Station Subsite(could also include Bases)

     -Fighter Subsite

    -Big Ship Subsite -hey neat this one's already started ; )

    -Mecha Subsite

    -Microfig Subsite

-Fictional technology and story conflicts. I really don't think this • should
get in the way of this project. Thats about it.

-Purpose? I think initially it should be just what I put above. A • Subdivided
collection of links to FOL's websites. After this back bone is set up then
interactivity can be discussed.

    Tell me what you think!

I actually love the idea. I've had a similar idea for awhile, but I since I don't have any lego sets (anymore), I don't really feel I have the right to suggest something that requires everyone else to put effort in. But anyway, to sort of 'unify' (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general, lugnet.build.mecha)

First, let me say hi to everyone. I've been lurking for about a month and I've found this group to be very inspiring. I'm hoping to get my LEGO site online soon so that I can start sharing with everyone. Back to the topic... I like the idea of (...)
