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

Hello and welcome to h2g2.com! You are most likely new here and
find the site to be a bit huge and hard to get a handle on.

I wear a lot of different hats around the site, but one of my favourites
is that of an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). The ACEs are a
volunteer group which the site has asked to go around and greet
newcomers and steer them toward a few of the places we feel should
be highlighted.

This site is designed to become an interactive and updatable Guide
to Life, the Universe and Everything (much like the fictional
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in Douglas Adams' books), the big
difference is we're only seeking entries about good old planet Earth
and its environs.

One of the first things you'll want to do as a new Researcher is to
write something about yourself, your aims, your ambitions or even
your favourite colour on your 'Personal Space'.

Another good choice for a newcomer is to check out the writing
guidelines at http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines These contain
a wealth of ideas to get started writing Guide Entries of your very
own. I'd love to read something about Slovenia!!

Browsing the Edited Guide with the Search Engine can also be fun. I
still do it from time to time - it's amazing what things people have
written. Including an amusing entry on "How To Pick Up A Porcupine
- A Personal Perspective" at http://www.h2g2.com/A306361

Anyway, I hope that long rambling conversation was helpful! If
you've got any questions, feel free to stop by my Personal Space at
http://www.h2g2.com/U53353 and leave a message.

Hope to see you around the Guide soon! And welcome!!

Hello Jimi

First of all thank you for taking time for me.
I am stil leraning about this place how it works etc...
and i can allready see that i like it.

I have a few questions for you anyway:
1. Who do i have to bother so that they would include
a simple spellchecker when posting things?
(let's say like on hotmail) I know that i can use some
external program or even learn my english beter but some
help is always welcome.

2. There is allready some information about Slovenia in Unedited
guide entries, howewer its a bit small and fragmented between
guides. What would you recomend writing entirly new guide
or just make cover page with links and aditional information?

Thank you in advance

Sorry I missed your questions!

A spellchecker is on the 'list' as it were. A lot of people have asked for it. You could add your voice to the call by going to the Feedback Forum at http://www.h2g2.com/Feedback and clicking on the link for feature suggestions.

As far as Slovenia, why not try writing your own entry. But if the other ones have bits that you think are worthwhile, try contacting the Researchers who wrote those entries to see if they'd like to collaborate with you on a grand entry. Even if they wrote great entries, I'm sure you've got some new and different information that you could add.

Hpe that helps! If you need anything else, give me a shout!
