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

If the author is gone (if this jumps on over to the Flea Market), someone should *definitely* begin a University Project for Monty Python... There really *is* too much to cover in a single entry, and anything not mentioned because of space constraints will make lots of fans upset, or at least wonder why it isn't included... My vote is for a UP, with credit to the original author Monty Python, as soon as (well, if) this entry gets moved to the Flea Market.

*agrees*

I was already considering doing a stand-alone Entry on the greatly underrated Eric Idle, but I'd be happy to do it for a Python University Project instead.

Nudge nudge, , know what I mean...

I think it's worth a mention that all of the members of MP were (are) highly educated, that Graham Chapman was a physician, that Terry Jones has done some exceptional literary and historical analyses of Chaucer, that Terry Gilliam went on to direct the dark cult films "Brazil" and "Twelve Monkeys", and that sort of thing. Each of those guys is interesting enough to fill a book!

Well, Monty Python will have officially left the building in 10 days (Jan. 17, 2002).

If this goes to the flea market, perhaps we can pick it up as a University project. (is that possible from the market?)

Of course, Monty, if you come back and work on it yourself, that's great too. It's about time MP was in the Guide, though.

Hey look, some conversations are longer than one page. And some researchers are to quick to reply. me!

-Spike A.

P.S., Count me in on that project if it goes through.
P.P.S., We have a . We need a .

Well... if this does end up in the Flea Market, I'd be happy to co-ordinate the University project (as I was the mug who originally suggested it, I feel I ought to follow it up )

Having said that, there will be a *lot* to write, so I'll be looking for volunteers to help me out!

Good luck!

Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'Peer Review' to 'The Flea Market'.

Right... looks like we're (yes, WE're )) making a University Project of this one then. I'll get things moving, and then I will be hunting people. All contributions gratefully accepted

I wouldnt mind lending a hand to the monthy python project if hands are needed...

Welcome aboard Is there any aspect(s) of Python in particular you'd like to write about..? I'm planning to put my suggestions for what should be covered on the project home page (when I get round to setting it up..!), so if there's nothing specific you can just choose something from there, or suggest anything I might have missed.

If the project includes profiles of the individual Pythons, I'd still like to do a piece on Eric Idle!

I was hoping you'd say that If you let me know the A123456 number (when you start it) I'll put a link to it on the project page (which still doesn't exist - but soon..!)

Count me in! Not sure specifically what to write about, but I'm sure there's something I can do.

Unless there is space for a whole entry on the songs of monthy python I will be quite happy to see what you suggest and just choose something...

vp. I was going to include an entry on the records, which would link to a more specific entry on songs quite nicely...

OK everyone... the Project page is at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A685163

Please volunteer (those who haven't already!), either here or there...

I've also started a thread in the collaborative writing workshop to get some ideas for people's favourite bits of Python (and why!). If anyone has a moment, please pop over there (F57152?thread=164894) and let me know what you think!
