Committee: World Factbook Entry

Committee World Factbook Entry


Purpose:
As delegate, one of my responsibilities is ensuring anyone, new member or seasoned vet, can at any given moment know what we're about as a region. The World Factbook Entry (WFE), located atop our regional page should give all nations a small teaser as to what we are. In addition, pinned dispatches should point members who want to know more into the appropriate direction(s).


Potential points of discussion:
  • How should we design our WFE? What is absolutely necessary?
  • Can we make it look fun and creative?
  • Should we add, remove, or change our current dispatches (the links like "Getting Started in The East Pacific" located at the bottom of the WFE)?


Participants:
All individuals with a nation in The East Pacific.


Leaders:
Todd McCloud
(Anyone else with gusto)


Timeframe:
From now until November 20, 2016, or sooner if the committee comes to a resolution sooner


End Goal:
Our World Factbook Entry will be improved and our dispatches will be impeccable. Suggestions and changes will be brought to the delegate for him or her to implement.

Which dispatches are unnecessary?

If you click on each dispatch, it represents a trove of information on that subject, which includes links to various areas that the dispatch is about. Do any of the dispatches need changes / updating?

Also, I have an idea: world factbook entry contests. We had this a few years back with a previous delegate and it proved fairly successful. Basically, citizens can design a temporary world factbook entry for the region. We, being the viziers / delegates could code it and help make it more accessible.

I'll have a look at the dispatches later.

Also, can we have a link to the Discord server in the WFE?

Halfway Report (~15 Days)

What we have done so far:
  • Pruned and updated several dispatches.
  • Shortened the WFE and removed the gaudy colors.

What we will do
  • Begin a Suggest a World Factbook Entry thread. We had this back when DFD / Lady Edea was delegate, and it had fairly good success. I would like to follow that model and will research it, as well as add any kind of flair.
  • Add in Skype and discord links to one of the dispatches
  • Hold a Flag Design contest. Our flag looks pretty swell, but I think there are plenty of excellent artists in TEP that can use their skills and make a flag that looks, well, updated. Credit will be given to those who design a flag that is approved. If it becomes successful, I would like to make a dispatch that honors all past flags and their creators.

Yep! I've held off this week due to elections and the likes, but I might just go ahead and do it anyway for the sake of saying we did it.

In lieu of the delegate elections and impending holidays in the US, I think it would be wise to extend this committee to Sunday the 27th.

If I do win these elections, it is my fullest intention to carry on these policies and not jeopardize what we have worked hard for during these programs.

If I do not win, I will need time to get the new delegate informed on these committees and their results.

Either way, a short report will be generated full of suggestions taken from those who brought forth ideas. Continue with ideas and suggestions. We will begin to finalize things by the Thanksgiving holiday!
