I thank Wonko for pointing the list out to me...lost it in my email=
archive. Y'all can thank him yerselves later after I've started getting=
on yer nerves...
Couple things from reading the list...
If OiaB's The Prop is gonna cover everything, OiaB's The Prop is never=
going to get done. This is because everything routinely changes on a=
dekaday basis. If it doesn't, I'm sure a few enterprising people would be=
happy to contribute to make it change, just to keep someone writing eir=
The Prop on eir toes.
Regarding automating everything with scripts, unified databases,=
error-checking web forms, etc: see above.
Okay, I'm not being fair on that one. I hear, every once in a while, that=
Dave has actually, God help him, automated it all, has actually written=
code to do everything (even House Grem), and actually maintains it on an=
nweekly basis. Despite our efforts, and our overrides of his vetos. But=
it can't be easy, and there might be an alternative in the form of modular=
development: each ministry constitutes its own code and database dependent=
on the central database. Which will work fine as long as the ministry=
crossovers don't get too terribly radical. It's what I'm doing now with=
the Insta-Ministry. Now, if I can only find the time to finish the=
code...
