Help Needed
Alondar asks, 'If any one wants to help me with writing the history for a ficticious country. Basically what I want, is a team of people who can all work together to get anything that needs doing done. Kind of like the knights of the round table, I know it sounds corny, but thats the ethics behind it, a SMALL group of people equal and together capable of anything.'
If you want to help Alondar, then let him know in this conversation or go to his homepage and see what he wants doing.
Which time zone are you in?
Sometimes I have trouble figuring out when some of my h2g2 friends can
be expected to be online, since I keep forgetting which time zones they are in, and how many
hours before or behind my zone that is. I plan to make a table listing the timezones and
researchers in each zone - but I need your help!
If you would like to help, then go to Which time zone are you
in? and put your name down in one of the conversations.
