Lists, add-ons, terms, and the like ...

[kinzel]

OK crew --

we're working on gathering locations -- in Liaden ebooks or chapbooks or in novels -- of dictionaries, lists of names and places, reference type things .... I know this sounds simple, but I'm at the office packing again, and Sharon's home writing (did you see her list of "weird words" from Ghost Ship? ... http://rolanni.livejournal.com/526774.html ) and honestly, we have had so many editions that it *is* hard to find them all.

All help is welcome...

Thanks!

And oh yeah... we have a beautiful cold blue-sky day here. Who has my early February blizzard, anyway?

How can we help?

All help is welcome...

Is this for the general masses, or just them that already know the drill?
So, say I'm currently reading Crystal Dragon. What would help here, a list, similar to the Ghost Ship list, of people/places/terms? And then what, just e-mail them to you or...? Post as a response to a this LJ thread.

Could people volunteer to go through a specific book/subset of chapters/chapbook and skim out said info? That way people aren't duplicating effort.

Too bad there isn't a wiki where we could just add terms.

Actually, I was looking for existing lists rather than trying to generate new ones; we already have volunteers working on some compilations and (over the course of more than a dozen books and a bunch of chapbooks and etc) there were a number of such infolists and I wanted to make sure all were included. It turns out that we had many more of these in searchable form than we'd realized once we looked at some older back-up disks, and those files have been delivered, so I think progress goes forth... as for a public wiki, no , there isn't one yet -- that a possibility down the road,but there's a lot of potential spoiler issues -- we may solve this once the website upgrade is in gear.
