Freeform role-playing in dictionary form
[Tobias](http://blog.wrigstad.com/) and I have now condensed our thoughts on role-playing in the form of [a wiki](http://jeepen.olle.ter.dk/wiki/doku.php), but that fails to attract others, being hard to read, follow and use. Especially off-line.
The solution was to rewite some of the material and to collect it in one, accessible place. We had already bought [jeepen.org](http://blog.jeepen.org/), and set up a blog there, so now you can find our newly repackaged material at [dict.jeepen.org](http://dict.jeepen.org/).
This is quite exciting, and I hope it is a way of sharing our thoughts, and revising them more often.
**Double-geek contents note**: A Ruby script for some HTML transforms, a CSS file to style the resulting HTML file, and a Makefile to run the whole thing, and to upload the new files to the website. And, yes, all text is in a Subversion source-control repository. Future plans include moving the text to Markdown format, to be easier on the editors’ eyes, and controlling the action from a Rakefile instead. Scripting everything in Ruby is… more fun.
The link to jeepen.org is broken: http://blog.olle.ter.dk/http:://blog.jeepen.org/
But allow me to return the comment you once wrote in my blog: “This is the best site ever.”
Olle, your link to jeepen.org is broken — should be http://blog.jeepen.org/
Uh-huh. Fixed now. (Thanks for the heads-up.)
Awesomely awesome and very useful. Much easier to parse than the wiki, although i dutifully combed that for insights as well.
Thanks, Jason.
We are not impervious to critique, either. We’ll be scanning for typos, unclear passages and so forth, and revise.
The backend part, the Ruby scripts and Subversion lastModified-date fixes, and the Makefile, that sort of… works now. And can be made to work for us in the revision work.
