Our Lyceum is a good source of knowledge already linked by Google for many music and art related knowledge. However, it is practically non-functional for informational purposes. We need organization and searchability. I suggest a few things:

- The main page referencing the few topics that the BotB Lyceum will cover: BotB (itself), Glossary, Art, Music, and Crap.

Under these topics, I'm pretty confident that all related articles can be linked.

- As for searchability, Google could be integrated and used or we could use our own search.

Last but not least...

- I believe we need some sort of dropbox for admins or mightybotbrs to dropbox files to be mirrored since many of the tools that we use come from obscure sources and could be lost as easily as they arrive. It would be good that we have our own little file drop and linking ability for the lyceum and our forum posts. :)

- one lub. one botb.

Hio. Cool thread, which I say so not because I love you XD

Hmm, it's useful though it's WAY difficult to search, botb style, weird.
This organizational idea could be better viewed visually (a drawing of a before and after? Jus saying that it might help visualize your idea, similar to how I suggested about categories (though back then I didn't draw a thing))

Dropbox = Yes! Some files are lost forever (mariopaint tunes extractor) though we have Strobe's BotB server, which some of us have used to link certain files.

Cool cool

I have a skeleton for an attachment class. I'm primarily focused on images being attached to posts and lyceum articles (like in BotB 1.0). Admins could have the option to attach any filetype; thus BotB being it's own dropbox. But, now that I think about it, maybe a slight few of these tools' authors don't want redistribution, then the dropbox makes sense. But mostly I don't think that's a worry.

Now, ppl in teh IRC were making a hoopla about converting the BotB Lyceum to the mediaWiki engine. This will not happen. I do use misc. tools, scripts, classes and functions from around the web here and there. But I will never dump a complete system into or alongside BotB. If you want discussion pages I will eventually create a Lyceum forum with articles each linked to a thread (just like entry and battle comments).

The Lyceum will only be as good as BotBr contributions make it. I'm sorry the editor is limited and clumsy. We need concise articles with lots of cross-linking so a n00b can quickly piece together what BotB is. I agree with b00d about changing the links on the Lyceum home page but I'm thinking something more like --

BotB, Tools, Tutorials, Crap, Glossary

The Lyceum shouldn't be about who did what. It should be about the what or how to do the what. With attachments, I think posting a tutorial would be easy. In fact, it should be a battle! :D/

So it is written. So it shall be done. ;P
