h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Why wouldn't it be suitable? It's very h2g2 specific, sure, but that is a bonus...

Well, 'cos no ones accepted it yet.

Guess I'm just discouraged

Sorry, I'm not a Scout...

But Opticalillusion is a scout. If you think it is ready and she thinks it is suitable, then she can pick it.

What's happening with this? Too self-referential?

How would this become a help page?

Would a scout send it up and include in the recommendation, "Attention, this really ought to be a help page"

or something like that?

You know, this could go first to the front page and then to a help page with only a very slight change at the top that could do double duty as enticement for readers to start writing entries.

->Firstly, Guide Entries are the very stuff of this whole site. If you haven't created any yet then you really ought to because you are obviously quite bright and interested in many different things or you wouldn't even be here. Now then, a word on the difference between Edited Guide Entries and Guide Entries.<-

Just a thought.

Anyone working on this still? Zeg? Potential, but enthusiasm seems to have waned?

Yeah. It's one of those things which seemed like a really smart idea at one in the morning, but after a while it starts to get you down.

The only problem I can see with the translation thing is from the House Rules:
'Postings or entries containing languages other than English may be removed. Because we have to ensure we understand a Posting or Guide Entry in case of problems, languages other than English may have to be removed.'
Presumably, if translated, someone would have to check it had been done properly which would make it a bit of a non starter.
