If they were discussing layouts and posts, the chatroom is very restrictive... feathers shelter would be perfect for the job I think

ok... but where's the NEWS tab from the TAB Menu... I can't seem to find it, other than the direct link from oi's.
How are members gonna access it?

Because we can store information, old stories, working projects data links etc..... there, I'm intending to create a data base where stories that are covered by news, can be compared, with some category titles that I'm thinking of, thus the news can be monitored and reviewed, possibly we could then chase up 'common themes' or identify where reporting is either negative or positive about particular topics, it might sound a bit arsey but I think it would be good to have a tool for feedback and analysis to what we're doing.

That way the data can be made available on a monthly basis perhaps, we can then track the perspectives of the reports and the topics covered.
It's a way of working the news stories towards either a wide range or particular hits, I think we also need to get information from forum members about news stories that they want, keep this information in the database and then mark it off as reports occur.

Otherwise the news will be driven by the few.

I can't really consider myself as part of the 'news' team, as any article I may or may not publish will purely be a piss take

You offered your service MP, are you claiming back-zees?

If I knew what back-zees was, I'd probably admit to it

I don't think that I'll be contributing anything to the news per say, except for monitoring/reviewing stories and collecting data from forum members, and creating a checklist. For that lot.

Unless anyone simply wants to refresh the news page once in a while about anything they want, in such case I'll do nothing.

Will be interested to see how this goes. Thank you to those who have volunteered. I may join you if I can think of a useful role for myself.

Maybe "David Icke and TPV critic". Lol!

It's Friday night for Nov so not sure when he'll appear to do it but I suppose the next obvious step is to give you guys Publishing level access so you can at least see what is at your disposal.

I was just imagining that I would write something, maybe then format it forum style, and pass it on to either you or Psketti to post it.

I'm hoping, after an initial bedding in, to have nowt to do with it but reading it! As for your role, do as much as you're happy with. I don't think anyone feeling burdened helps anyone or anything in the long run.
