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

If you wish to be apart of this project, please login here:

Well, I suppose we cant expect a secret to be one for very long on h2g2 Taliesin came up wih a working title of Area 42 which I rather liked. This may or may not be the final name of the project.

It will be need a lot of research, therefore too much for just a couple of guys.

What is it you ask. Well Peta let the cat out of the bag on the Ace forum and I to keep my promise that you would be one of the first to know.

It will be a complete history of DNA and h2g2. Any resemblance to a biography will be purely intentional

The actual project will be based at U189069. This page (u189013) will be the working hub where all who wish to take part, will be able to login as Area 42 Researchers (or whatever name is finally used) work on pages which will be, when finished, posted un/officially to the U189069 pages.

Once the historical part is completed it will be an on going project which will be periodally updated. These updates will eventually form part of HHGG's history.

We are asking all of you who wish to take part, to put their hands up and become full or casual writers for the h2g2 history pages.

You can be a part of h2g2's history by helping to write it. Your memories are also very important to help get the facts right. Also your ideas on how to proceed will be very welcome.

Mark, Peta and Abi have given their support to this project and hopefully if Jim has time - he too will have a few stories to tell.

This will be a joint effort between Researchers and the Towers and anyone who knew DNA.

We hope you will join by logging in here.

I've only been here since about June 2001, but I'd love to be a part of this project!

Jonny

Thanks Jonny.
Consider yourself as our first recruit.
veggie

Thanks!

Me too! Don't know how much time I'll have, but what I got is yours!!!



why do the names show up greeny yellow here? and why is the thread so funny looking???

Looks perfectly normal to me, at least in Alabaster.
Count me in, also as a relatively new researcher, also june 2001.

It's because the link you followed specifically said to only to show the actual postings. You can find this forum in the Message Centre for "Watch this Space." It'll look normal, then.

Thank StR

Yes, I find the forum loads quicker using that link. as it cuts out the frames.

Thanks Mistdancer for joining every little helps also Marjin welcome I think Tal is busy at the mo but I am sure he will around soon.

*prepares to unload memories on the screen*
Would love to be involved

Hey Swiv

Really glad to have you on board - you were on my list to contact. Have to rush now just off to work

Talk to you later
aka vegiman

Funky

Exams are nearly done now, so I go back to "normal" life, and plenty of time with which to procrastinate rather than doing "proper" work.

Well, it's hard to believe but even *I'm* not at least a year old yet! I've been a researcher here since 21st-ish May 2001, But what I can give I will (A little confused about what I could give though..)

aka (",)

Good luck on your exams Swiv

Welcome aka

There will be a lot to do even if you only joined yesterday. Much research to do, not just memories. Interviewing older researchers. Collating facts into articles. etc etc.

We shall be making use of all types of skills to complete the book of area 42

You dont even have to be a good writer, Hope that helps

veggie

Cheers Vegi!
Just beginning to realise how delicate and unstable my memory can be
ahhh well, it will all come flooding back - I hope

Y'll do just fine - Memory can play tricks thats why it will have to be reseached as well.

Tal and I are working on a way to keep you all informed of progress - so watch this space.

veggie

Hi Vegi, I've been around the block a couple of times since November '99, I think I missed Llama. If I can help, I'm in.
