Con downtime. What are we doing?
« on: June 17, 2008, 07:40:04 PM »
BtS of some stripe like we did last year? NR's going to be wrapped up by that point.

It's a week 5 update, so we could probably do it fairly easily if we didn't want to pause the site.

I'll be around and can handle a few writeups if that matters.

It's a Week 5 and if worst comes to worst the beach house apparently has wi-fi.  We should be fine just running merrily along through it.

Since we seem to be going with Week 5, I wouldn't mind actually doing the simple copy/paste in for the entire site; I'm not going to DLCon, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Of course I reserve the right to throttle people if I have to paste up the Arena, Results, mainpage and BtS and do all the results comments too, but otherwise...

That'd definitely be helpful.

Perhaps Hal could share some of the results with the staff mid-week; I know I would do some arena/results writeups on Tuesday if I can.

Can't be sure that results will be that clear-cut, though.  The honest way, of course, would be to just make sure someone's done both potential winners for each match beforehand, although the DL is pretty reluctant to do unneccessary work so.

Well, the hope is that we could learn the clearcut results ahead of time, and then some non-Con-goers could sign up to do the close ones on Thursday-Friday as usual.

I don't have much hope in getting the DL to do unnecessary work even on a regular week, let alone one where a bunch of us have to prepare for travelling.

I'm not going to the con either so I can still help out with this.

Count me in for helping with the update as well.

I can see what I can provide for ambiguous commentary that week, at worst.
