Python523 is on a distinguished road
Graal Kingdoms FAQ Project

Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to provide more help to the players of Graal Kingdoms. This project will contain an extensive database full of several helpful topics. Not only will this database contain useful information, but it will also contain informative pictures. The best part of this database will be that users will be able to contribute to it. If a topic seems very brief or if it seems to not be detailed enough, the user will be allowed to amend the articles. Of course, the articles will have to be proofread and approved by an administrator, but once approved, the article will go live and anyone will be able to view this information.

Technical Information:
This FAQ database will be able to be accessed using the GUI Windows controls contained in the new scripting engine. The user will be able to view a table of contents or search for a certain topics. When the user goes to a specific topic, the information will be loaded onto the GUI along with any pictures that have been included. Of course, the information will be carefully formatted to not only look professional but also to be able to organize the information strategically. Also, if a keyword to another topic is in the information for the topic the user is looking at, it will become a link to the other topic. The information will also be available in multiple languages in order to help as many people as possible. This system is planned to be really similar to the popular wikipedia.

What is needed now:
Right now, I need people to compile a list of topics that you think would be useful for anyone to know. I do not want anyone writing articles to contribute yet. Once the initial list of topics is created, I will post asking for people to begin to write articles for this system. Of course, anyone who contributes information will be credited on the page. Also, a name for this project is required. Right now, although cliche, the only idea I have is "Graalpedia". A suggestion for a better name is welcomed!

If anyone has any questions, comments, criticisms, corners, etc, feel free to post! I will be actively reading this thread and participating in any discussions going on. Thanks in advance for any help! I really hope that this project will be successful. I really think that it would be a valuable asset for the Graal Kingdoms Server. If the project is successful enough, I will even open-source the code.
