16 September, 2002 - New volunteer scheme launched

Post 1

Mina

After months of hard work the Community Art scheme has been launched! The scheme will enable you, the Community, to produce artwork for h2g2. Ultimately we'd like the Community Artists to provide art for Community-run clubs and societies, but to start with we're concentrating on Edited Entries, the Talking Point as well as Topic of the Week - and even smileys! smiley - biggrin

A small band of wonderful Community Artists have already contributed some great pieces of art for the Guide as a trial, but we need more artists to cope with demand as the Guide grows.

If you'd like to be one of them, or if you've got any questions about the scheme, head over to the CommunityArtists home page to find out more.

The whole team worked together to get the scheme running, but without Abi and Jimster it wouldn't have happened, so many thanks to them. smiley - hug

All the pages are working for me pheloxi. Have you got a problem with your connection?

Incidentally, do all sentence fragments beginning with A get parsed into links?

Dave Barry mentioned it in his column
yesterday. I presume that Dave was
serious. But I plan to talk like a smiley - pirate
on the 19th, and maybe enough people will
join in that we can petition for official
holiday status. smiley - whistle

Here we are trying to get the topic to drift into something entirely different, and you insist on talking about the actual topic of this conversation?
