I still hold the record

Seriously, don't necro unless it is truly a productive necro. Thanks.

Can't really help reliably bit it sounds like a good idea.
You shouldn't put your email in clear mike that though (spam ).

You can still contribute
Edited to be put in a spoiler code thingymabob.

Sounds like a sweat idea! Too bad I can't help as i'm too busy currently >.<

Darn it, I was hoping you'd help me with the website and with the sql/server stuffs!

Oh by the way. Git is very versatile and I think it's not worth reinventing the wheel. A dedicated website separate from github would be a good idea though since that is for code while books are totally different.

Fair enough, but git is also very programmer-oriented and most authors are not as such. I want this to appeal and be easy to use for everyone
I wish to make both a dedicated web and computer interfaces. I'll need some help with GUI frontend stuff for the computer interface (yes, in Java).

You could use github for anything, though

This:

True but Github is very programming oriented. Also Pimath's ideas require that a new site be made since it's probably not in Github's goals.

Very true. Thanks for the help and feedback so far!

I just had the best idea ever, and I need some help to get it off the ground.

The idea is called "Open Book Ware." To put it in short: Github for authors. It will work like Github in that a project will start, people will contribute with branches, the project starter(s) will merge branches, etc.

Ideally, the best complete books/stories will go off to publishing and the money from those books will go to charity/charities of the author's/authors' choosing (This would be way off in the future).

That said: I need help. If some of you would like to help with the website front-end, server/database back-end, etc., that would be very helpful. In addition, I'm going to try to make a git-like client for Open Book Ware.

So whaddaya say? Willing to give me help? PM me or email me at

Let's do this!

Okay, so this is a necropost, but imagine some new member doing it to this topic instead of me because it was easy to find in http://www.omnimaga.org/recent and they were obsessed with nercoposting. I, personally, see this as a flaw in showing all of the topics in the recent posts section.
Long story short: will an admin kindly limit the number of posts seen in the recent posts section unless said member is a mod?

Thank you.

EDIT: Other than that, I love the new (read: updated) recent posts feature, but this should come first, imo.

Though not WIP, it's too short to make its own topic:

It's an experiment with mixed meter and a pseudo-progressive style. I hope you guys enjoy!

Watch Runerbot Plays Pokemon instead.

Runerbot still hasn't done so well...

This:



Also: expect an update within a week.
Also also: I'm back! (If you didn't know that already )

If an Arduino can do it (and it does ), an eZ80 should be able to do it, no problem
