There's also the TalossaWiki Library: http://wiki.talossa.com/TalossaWiki:Library

In time, they will be combined.  :-)  And do not worry: there will be no overhaul of the TalossaWiki Library.  I'll probably just make it the Library of Talossa, linking everything on my GoogleDrive to it or just uploading everything to the Wiki.

If we can get at least three years out of this Witt, it will be a success in my book.

Now that we collective own the database, there should be no limit to the lifespan. No-one can lock it up. No-one can take it and leave.

I'm talking about the long-term stability of the software and the underlying code.  Improvements in tech happen all the time.  I'll say this for ProBoards: their software is stable.

Brilliant.

I'm here!

Thought I logged in but I guess not. Anyway, Azul!

Wazzup!

I don't like the Shoutbox because it doesn't leave a record. It seems a very efficient way for people to talk miéidâ about other Talossans without leaving a permanent record. If Lüc wants to set up a "Chat room" of some other sort, I'm fine as long as it leaves records.

How do we archive this board?  I would love native functionality to be able to make an archive of the whole of this Witt each week and in a format that is non-proprietary.

There is no native backup functionality from inside this forum, but it's as easy as making a backup of the database, which has to be done from my own end sadly.

Ugh.  Is it possible for me to have admin rights limited to making such backups?

I might be able to do you one better and set up an autobackup with a link you can just grab every week. I'll get back to you on this.

Sounds good.  I want both me and you (if you are willing) to be on this with saving the database every week.  If you like, I'll add you to the Royal Archives staff officially for this specific purpose.

If you could put through a backup today or tomorrow and get the link to me, that would be excellent.  I want to see how the files work and are arranged.

One thing is interesting, in URLs, "topic"-numbers in our forum don't start at '1'.  Topic number one resolves to a 404, and your first post on the main forum is numbered '4'.  Far more problematic is the lack of subject-lines being in thread URLs.  Also, I see no direct links in individual posts, though in my archving of Witt XI, I always ignore individual post-links, anyway.

You have put in a ton of work on this, already.  Thank you so much!

Azul fellow Florencians,

I am not yet appointed as Governor but I want to, nevertheless, welcome you as the transition to Witt 2.0 gets underway. I hope that this transition will allow our province to start a period of renewal.

See you soon,
Breneir

Actually, Witt 14.0 ;-)

With all documents contained therein vetted for Talossan-name translation, I remind everyone thirsty for more knowledge of Talossan history to visit the Library of Talossa at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DQs53chil5a43Ff6PdSCLn1jaJ_8DCIg

There are literally thousands of pages of Talossana contained here with many more to come - Enjoy!

GV, Royal Archivist

Azul, and welcome to Wittenberg XIV.  At least, that is what I am calling it for the sake of posterity. :-)

As I write this, the Electoral Commission is still in the process of certifying the 54th Cosâ election.  Once that is done, I will be able to Scribe the new OrgLaw text as well as note the election on the Wiki in some way.

Normally, I would wait for such a thing to be finalized before issuing an update, but I want to be the first poster on this particular part of the new Witt.

The very rough archiving of the present Wittenberg XI continues, though it's been held up by my working to bring together the extant archive of the infamous Wittenberg VIII, which includes nearly the entirety of the seneschal-related archives of X. Conâ, Mximo C., and me.

This is turning out to be a prerequisite to my getting the Clarkives together, which will be official and annotated presentations of all extant bills, Clarks, elections, and other national-level things.  Provinces, you are on your own with stuff like that, though in time, Maricopa will be able to get at my Maricopa archives.

In the past two days, I sent the following thoughts to the PM regarding the Royal Archives:

"My vision for the post of Royal Archivist is as a coordinator of minions, each of which has a certain responsibility: one to archive media publications, one or more to keep a future Witt archived, etc. with the Royal Archivist with the specific task of keeping backups of talossa.ca (or a future database) and double-checking on everyone and everything and giving a general direction as to how the Royal Archives should operate: invisibly and transparently with redundancy of jobs and people and in such a way in five to ten years I will be able to happily step down and from thence be able to download all the publicly-available Royal digital archives at-will as any Talossan should be able to do.

Currently, the post of Royal Archivist is that of a KonMari consultant working on their own house.  And since late-summer 2018, my latest attempt at doing that has had incredible success.  This is due to a lesson my stubborn brain failed to grasp when I was PM: seek buy-in first from others.  When others are invited to the dinner party, it comes to life, and when you guys agreed to be my [Royal Archives ]Think-Tank, the Royal Archives became truly alive."

As to the 42 Project, it is the undergirding framework of everything I am doing with the Royal Archives.  By the end of this year (and I keep promising this, I know), I hope to have a full report of the status of that project which, once done, will never ever have to be done again.

Many thanks, all!

GV, Scribe etc.

As Premier of Maricopa, it is my pleasure to officially open our new home on Witt!

This is a great day for Talossa.  We are free of ProBoards!!

As a former Maricopan Governor, I heartily wave to all of you.

This is the perfect way to inaugurate the new Wittenberg :)

Thank you!  If we can get at least three years out of this Witt, it will be a success in my book.  It is important to know this is the first Witt since X that has been put together and put online in a unified/re-unified Talossa.

My chief concern is native-archival functionality.  I cannot yet find out how to archive this thing.
