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

Hello all you mystical mentor-types...

I have already volunteered myself to be a <./>SubEditor</.>, but I can't help thinking that I would enjoy the whole guru thingy too.

I spend almost all my life (it seems) on h2g2 now , as it's probably one of only about five websites in the world that are any good at all (and it conforms to Tim Berners-Lee's original vision of the worldwide Web) and I figure that my knowledge of websites, design principles and the inner workings of DNA (I'm a sucker for help pages - I'm one of these os who just reads FAQs for everything, for no reason) would be useful in both helping people who don't know the stuff, and providing ideas for new bits of the DNA software.

Well, if you're interested - I'd love to be a guru!

Presumably then you've found all the technical stuff on the Hub... it's great, isn't it?



You'll probably have to wait for Monday before Mina comes along and finds this.

But then you knew that already, didn't you?

But even though you're not a <./>guru</.> yet, you can start right now, and hang around U285 to help the gurus out, and show Mina that's you're ace guru material.

spelugx - <./>ace</.>, <./>guru</.>, <./>subeditor</.> and former <./>scout</.>

Make that U295 (or MP295) and it would be even more helpful!

Thanks you lot. Yeah I knew there wouldn't be any italics doing italicky things over the weekend, but figured that posts don't go away and they'd see after I get back.

I'll get my behind round to U295 and have a looksee if I can help anyone

Mina recruits on thursday afternoons, so you have plenty of time to prove your worth.

Oh, and I _will_ ...

Excellent!

See you Thursday then.


Thanks for volunteering.

Oooh. Is that a yes? Thanks!

Sorry, I meant that I'd be along on Thursday to see how you are doing.

As long as you are dedicated and willing to learn you will get in eventually, don't worry about that, it's just whether you will have to go away and think/read about a few things first. Just don't give up! :D

Remember the golden rules of Guruing:

1) be nice to Mina
2) praise Mina
3) answer questions in a witty, comprehensible manner
4) give Mina extravagent gifts

Stick to those rules and you'll be fine.

1. for Mina
2. Thankyou so much for considering me, Mina! Have a !
3. Do I have to do this one?
4. Here Mina, have a .

3) is optional, as it says in <./>Gurus-code</.>

Doesn't this says more about the current Gurus than about Guruing?

Isn't guruing what gurus make it?
