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

I've got 18 in safari and 9 in firefox. I have to be careful though because too many will crash safari esp as I have a habit of closing a whole bunch quickly which it doesn't seem to like.

Confusion is everything

Now I have... 19 in chrome.

All Hootoo.

Only from out of confusion can true cohesion and organisation be spawned.... you have to know what total confusion looks like to know what peace and tranquility is when... if... it arrives blimey... I've gone all zen today...

and...

pah!; you think those of us in the consortium are keeping track of everything? .... blimey... I was up to 2.30 reading through Emails and the consortium forums and h2g2.... and still was very on opening Gmail this morning, at the overnight traffic! I need more coffee...

In that case, Interestman, there's not a lot I can do; just relax, enjoy it, and you'll find your place in here.

TC - yeah, I know *exactly* what you need. This place is just so full of fizz that it's hard to see.

Hopefully the FAQs will be written and released soon, which will help a bit. Friend account U14914070 and keep an eye on it; that should be our main way of sending out info.

Need? What you *mean*, TC.

If you are looking to help, there are a couple of slef-contained projects that are happening at A85850175.

I know a few people want to help but don't know how, so this page is for you.

Oooh! New news!

There is a new Announcements account, similar to the current Eds. Subscribe to A85834173 to get up-to-date news. That should be the one-stop-shop that lets you know what's going on.

Dunnit!

Also dunnit!

Yes, Vip - I'm confused because I offered three times to join the Comittee, and three times I was ignored. Not told that I couldn't join - simply ignored. Not replied to. Nada.

And this was on the first day of the consortium.

KB, I'm replying to this, but it's taking longer than I thought.

Give me 30 minutes or so.

Note to moderators - please do not pull this post, I am entitled to put up the email addresses they contain, because of my role in the successful bid for the site, and because they are the currently official email addresses for members of the bid team. You can email me directly about this if you like.

And now it's happened for 6 hours again.

It absolutely, totally, 100% was not intentional. I am completely clear on that. It would have been down either to human error (people not seeing what you'd posted wherever it was you posted it, though to do that three times sucks) or down to spam filters or redirects eating your email.

Given that it's not intentional, what do we do about it? Well, we can't subscribe to all the threads and it would be stupid of us to try. We've created accounts which are run by each of the teams and we can be reached via messages on those accounts. I am subscribed to and have friended all of them and I will remind each of the core team to subscribe to the one for the team they work in and the main one.

These accounts are

H2G2 Future - U14914070 - that also has links to our individual USpaces
H2G2 Future - Community Editors - U14916633
H2G2 Future - Tech Team - U14917802
H2G2 Future - Arts and Design - U14916409
H2G2 Future - Guide Editors - U14916653

We will also be setting up email accounts for the same teams, but we hope do to use @h2g2.com so for the meantime we are using the existing accounts we've set up.

We'd much prefer questions are raised on those accounts or in the H2G2 FAQs thread F21525517?thread=8244456 than by email to us directly because they don't rely on a single person. However, if you want to reach us privately you can email

Vip for things about H2G2 Future Moderation (NOT current moderation at h2g2moderators at hotmail : co : uk

Z at h2g2communityconsortium at gmail : com

Me at noohootoo at gmail : com

I am going to ask HN to pull this together into a help page, rather than lose it all in a thread.

So, KB, total and unconditional apology for ignoring you. It was not intentional, we are working out how to put the whole thing on as professional a footing as possible while not getting too far up our own backsides.

Damn, and I even asked the mods nicely not to pull the post IN the post.

Oh well

Oh, and the previous version included , and but they didn't survive my cut and paste through notepad.

I really am very sorry though, we could have done with you on the team. Hopefully you'll like what we've come up with and will find a good niche in the Arts and AV group and maybe the Editorial one.

KB.

I'm so sorry you were ignored - that was a mistake I made several months ago during some very hectic days and something I'm deeply sorry for.

It would have been great to have you on board.
