Why not run two projects at the same time?

One should be the guide to the rest of the world. The other a 2057
Annual. This Annual would contain new stuff. That is items of gear,
weapons, vehicles, spells, magic things and the like. The format
would be that of a electronic catalog suitably annotated by the NA
community.

Further I think that this publication should be done on an annual
basis. With the articles being collected during the previos year.
This would provied a place for those submissions that are worthy of
being publish yet do not fit with the on going theme.

As to the guide to the world, I have a proceedural suggestion. That
prior to starting writing we go through the following steps.

1. Identify Areas of Intrest (i.e. the places to be covered)
2. Everyone research each of the areas and report back any refernces
to the area in any privously published material (i.e. FASA published
Sourcebooks, Adventures, and Novels, Ka*Ge, Shadowland, NAGEE,
NERPS, and other on-line sources.) This process could be further
organzided by assigning two or three people to groups of matterial
to conduct the research.
3. Consoldate this references in to a single list by area ( we might
want to put this into the final product. It would be a handy
refernce.
4. Then evaluate the first list of areas.
5. Make changes, if any.
6. Pick/Assign areas. Priority should go to individuals from that
area or having a familiarity with it (these bonifides should be
included in the request to write postings.
7 Write the articles/ submissions.

Any thouhts on this cource of action?
