Sign up to participate in the Project Team.
This is quite a large project and it would be wise to form a team to efficiently and successfuly bring this project to a result.
If you don't want to join the team but make some work on your own go ahead. If your work is useful in any way it could be used.
Currently there is need in the following sections:
A) Programming
We are in need of programmers with knowledge in C++.
If you know C but you're not familiar with object-oriented programming or C++, you might be of some help as well.
The current demand is for 1-2 program leaders and several coders.
1) The program leader(s) will organize, supervise and direct efforts made in programming the code.
2) The coders will work in the actual code.
B) Quality Assurance
We need several testers that will test changes made in the code, and are familiar with Call to Power 2 or computer games in general.
Also text showing up in dialoge boxes, messages, interface and Great Library will be tested for grammatical errors, translation and logical or historical inconsistancies.
The current demand is for 1-2 test leaders/managers and several testers.
1) The test leader(s)/Manager(s) will organize, supervise and direct the testing efforts.
2) Testers will play-test the changes made in the code.
C) Documentation
We are in need of programmers to document the code.
Important Notes
Some positions are limited to 1-2 people.
Thus if the offer is greater than the demand inevitably there will be some selection.
The criteria I propose are (in that order of significance):
a) Availability. How much time and effort you're willing to put forth.
b) Skills. How good you are in it.
c) Date/Time of sign up. If the above two are not enough then order priority will be considered.
The positions are the very current needs. As the project progresses new ones will be added and other removed.
Additions and changes
[7/11/2003] If you are a programmer and want to sign up mention your preferable C++ compiler and if you have access to it.
[7/11/2003] Choose the area you would like to work on mostly, regarding coding and testing. Depending on the offer and demand or your skills, you might not get what you want.
[7/11/2003] For all positions available add any previous work or experience you might have related to it, a rough idea on your availability and a way to contact you (your email address, icq #, etc.). If you don't want to post your email address or icq # in public, simply email me at marc13@otenet.gr.
[7/11/2003] A guide for your application:
SECTION: Programming, coder
COMPILER (only for applications in programming): Borland C++ Builder 6
AREA OF INTEREST: I would like to get involved in the multiplayer coding.
BACKGROUND: I have a solid knowledge in C/C++, I've worked as a software engineer in several projects, professionaly and unprofessionally, I've been moding Call to Power for some time now and playing civ-type games since I was a kid. Oh I have a girlfriend who loves Call to Power
AVAILABILITY: I can work for a couple of hours per day most of the week. I might not be able to work at all though sometimes, for brief periods.
CONTACT: Email: me@home.com, ICQ# 12345678
COMMENTS: You kind busted my nerves with all these guides et al but I forgive you
BTW, you might want to add an art section for graphics and sounds 
Note that the above guide is what it implies: a guide. You don't actually need to follow that structure when you sign up. You can put it the way you like but make sure to include all necessary information: Section/specialty, background, compiler (for programming), availability and contact. Area of interest or comments are optional.

It is expected of cource that people that will work on the code to document it as well but it would be nice if someone could document in a text file the general structure of the code, its main sections, any general problems or suggestions, etc. That could be done by anyone in the programming team or more than one but is defenetely a different thing than to code.
