Whilst kicking around a few thoughts about how we can develop this forum, I found myself mulling over the idea of "Civ of the month".
The reasoning works like this- your average history magazine tends to have "specials" each month where there are a few articles based around a common core topic. How I see this working here would be for a particular civilisation (eg Ancient Greece, Viking-era Scandinavia) being selected for a forthcoming month, with posters here volunteering/pledging to submit an article or discussion topic based on that civilisation.
My hope is that this will get more people submitting articles, as well as allowing more in-depth discussion than might be expected from the piecemeal approach taken so far.
Any thoughts? Good idea, or sucky suggestion?
