This sound more like it - creativity governed by standards.
I really liked your article guidelines, so I'm glad they're staying.

The only real standard I want to adhere to is the layout of the pages. We should have links to other pages at the top and basically the same info displayed for all projects.
That sounds great. The article breakout sounds really good too. I really like the diary idea, maybe it would fit best in the "project mgmt" page though. And it does seem simpler to integrate the project management and source management together.

Whatever you do, I want the following things to appear somewhere in the project articles: your abstract, a design doc, milestones/goals for the project, team members, coding assignments, source code and screen shots/conceptual art when available.
Absolutely.

It's a shame this didn't come up before I submitted about 8 hours of work.

Sorry.

Let's just see what your thing is like, and if it's as good or better, we'll keep it; if not, back to Jason's.

No, the standard thing isn't what's got me on my high horse, it's the article authoring thing. I'm more than happy to compromise on standards.

Hmmm, I just tried to edit one of my own unedited articles, and I can change the Author ID(s)...
Why don't you just let jason make the articles with both him and you as authors, then you can just remove him. This should keep everyone happy!

Perhaps I didn't delve deeply enough into the wizard. I didn't see where IDs could be edited.

I think we're arguing over different things. Would you like me to whip out a layout for each page and send it to you? Then you could post the articles yourself.
Marc, I do want to remain involved in this sort of thing so I will most likely be critiquing the articles to make sure they're up to snuff (standard layout and project info only). Do you have a problem with this? Of course all of my suggestions would be via email and not on a message board.

No, I definitely don't have a problem with that. In fact, I think it would be a good thing!

At this point it's probably not necessary. It would be nice to delegate some of this work, so I'm hoping I don't have to write all the project article pieces. For example, it would be nice if someone else can step forward with the design document. A sneak peek is of course welcome, but besides the Abstract, I don't think it's necessary.

Give me an idea of what you're looking for, and maybe I'll take a stab at it.

I'm not trying to steal your thunder or take credit for your work. I just want to maintain a standard layout across all of the projects. You can control the rest of the content and your team.
I think we can compromise on this.

Just wanted to chip in that I think we should keep this all on CP and not move it over to SourceForge or any other project tool.

I think we are going to need some kind of Defect Tracking System (until our own is finished )
Do you think chris will host a freeware system for us?
And dont tell me that we can do this in a forum, it is just not gonna work.
What about source control, are we going to do that manually?

How do you propose we handle defect tracking? Is there a free defect tracker on the web we could use?
For SC, I could see one person (source manager) handling this stuff if we have no other option. What do you suggest?

Can you give me an update on the status of your abstracts?
Remember, they don't have to be perfect, just put enough info in them that we can start up the articles, form teams, and start having fun.
