Announcing: CIVGROUP NEWS

[MarkG]

I'm glad to announce the next step in CivGroups: CivGroups News

http://apolyton.net/civgroups/news.php

CivGroups News are news page of a specific civgroup. News are submitted by members of the civgroup and are approved by specific members ("leaders", "ministers", etc), without the need of an Apolyton Staff Member

more details coming up, try it out!

It's alive

[MarkG]

good lord, i forgot!

CivGroups News is Gramphos Powered ^TM

[Locutus]

Wow, that was really fast, all things considered -- even by Gramphos standards

Great job once again, Gramphos

[vovan]

Sweet. How do we know who this leader/minister is for a given civgroup?

[Gramphos]

A minister has a star next to the civgroup icon. But there may be newseditors without this flag as well.

For groups with private forums the users who has the ability to authorize members been given the ability to approve news. There may be groups without newseditors right now, but I'm sure that Markos will appoint editors to those groups.

[MarkG]

currently only demogame teams have appointed ministers

other civgroups will have to appoint news editors

Questions: About the Spanish Civg.
Who will be the news reporter? Jay Bee? Can we suggest another one? Thanks

[Arnelos]

This is great!

Gramphos, if you don't already have said star-people for many of the multiplayer Civ3 CivGroups, we can definately round that up for you.

Uhhh... just a security concern...

I can access the Tabemono forum through the linked thread at the news. That's kind of an issue when one wants to keep people out of their private forums.

I couldn't get into their forum...
