That's a project. Please help list other entries, then I will compile them into a (semi-)static page, like the Fogbow Calendar. Or maybe just a section of an overview-of-Fogbow page. If you don't like the perceived future of the site, you can always make positive suggestions. ;)

I've been working on the history, but I'm not ready to take it on the road yet.

So... Do we need someone to gather all these lovely, snarky, fogbowisms into a single sheet? Maybe alphabetized and maybe even separated by actual words/phrases and any initialisms/acronyms?

Why, yes. Yes, we do. :batting:

And I'm willing to turn the final product into a web page with a link on the Quick Links menu, like the Fogbow Calendar page.

I've already started copy/pasting stuff. I have an idea, but I need to see if it's viable. :)

Poots

Maybe include expliners for things like:

He, Jim whatever
CEL3
the Paraclete
And other such shorthand, nicknames and sayings, etc.

I believe those are on my list already.

Once I get it cleaned up and in a format that is workable, I may look at turning it into a google doc and getting some definitions that we don't have and the boggle can peruse the list to see what is missing.

Gonna take a bit of time. I have mountains of paperwork I'm still processing from all the insurrection kerfluffle stuff.

You rock, girlfriend. And obviously, no rush at all, take all the time you need.

A static phpBB page ... well, since you actually understand this stuff, I will quote verbatim from my Admin Control Panel, with highlights:
Content can be created using normal phpBB BBCodes, smilies and magic urls or you can enable HTML mode. In HTML mode, BBCodes, smilies and magic urls will not work, but you are free to use any valid HTML syntax. Please note that this content will be added to an existing HTML template, so you should not include DOCTYPE, HTML, BODY or HEAD tags. However, all other HTML formatting tags, including IFRAME, SCRIPT, STYLE, EMBED, VIDEO, etc. can be used.
Except nobody uses iframe, I don't know what they were thinking. :doh: And script? :nope:

But otherwise, if you are willing to do the work, absolutely you can choose how to do it. If you use HTML, I can make it work (even JavaScript). If you use BBCodes and smilies, you can do it as a draft reply to a post and look at it as you work that way. Whatever you want to use as a workflow, I can deal.

The one thing I can't do (but I wish) is allow you to work directly on the page. That requires that you be a full administrator, and you don't need those headaches. Have you seen what they're doing to admins here? :eek:

Oh no no no.

The list must be an inartfully collated, defectively stapled, and misordered collection.

I mean, seriously, alphabetized? Without even the occasional random numeral or naked bullet? Next thing you will probably say is that there should be consistent fonts, sizing, color, justification, and whatnot. Hrmph!

I'm sorry. It's a compulsion. I'm a technical writer by trade. It's an occupational hazard.

You'll need some tasteful dingbats for the perfect segues from one letter to another. I mean it only in the usual glyph sense, in case there is any ambiguity! :dance:
