RULES UPDATE

NOVEMBER

20 November 2008 I've decided to bring back doing lists of what I do on any given day.

SOFTWARE

• I've added a tool to let me edit users. That's right, now if you major issues such as password forgetting coupled with incorrect email addies can be FIXED easily so people can just request fixes.

More shall come later.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

• Took at look at Web's Redfur, and declined, because we need to discuss things.
• Checked out Fogdancer's Applenose, and also declined.

I should work on a Non-cat version of the character sheet for things like Sair Fen the Fisher, but we'll see. There's much that is left to be done.

And here goes Willow's own update.

22-23 November 2008

TEMPLATES

• Added templates {{Vox Populi}} and {{Vox Populi/opinion}} for easy formatting of the Vox Populi pages.
• Included Domestic Cat information on the {{Redirect/rank}} template.

IMAGERY

• Ran Socrates and Rowankit's pixels.
• Uploaded pixels from the old site to the correct character sheets.

GENETICS

• Dropped the dead cats with no surviving relatives from the list, as they are irrelevant for the project.
• Assigned several genotypes and corrected others.

CHARACTER PROCESSING

• Ran NPC Grayfur through the system.
• Checked over Applenose and Declined it for Fogdancer.

TEMPLATES

• Started on, but did not complete, {{Noncat Character}} for characters who are not Kitties. Someday there'll acctually be information about Mr. Sair Fen in the Characters section.

Just a heads up here, about how long character sheets are taking. I apologize, and WILL be getting through pending stuff from real people tomorrow (Sunday) as I have off work.
