What do you think of a Research links Sticky

[Mush Martin]

To all subsimmers please post a list of your of top research Shortcuts for naval history sites etc


I was thinking that a lot of us use Uboat net and the like
but most of us have one or two that the others dont know.

I was wondering if its worthwhile pursuing a research
sticky where we can put up links divided
by subject

Uboats/Subs

Merchants

Escorts

Major Combatants

Nations

Battle of the atlantic chronologies

ship histories

Convoys

Battles

and the like

you know Uboat net the flower class corvette association
mike kemble page on Johnny walker

Any thoughts on a mutual research rescource sticky.

Not a bad idea there Mush

:hmm:
The list could run into thousands
Needs someone to manage it so all links are on the first page and in the right place

your quite right of course it could easily run into the
thousands which is why I thought that

catagorizing the links would be a good proposition.
if the Idea draws enough merit and interest
then Ill start a Link gathering thread and
approach neal about a sticky to put it
on

but I feel it could be a tremendous resource for all
and would be worth the effort.

I would certainly find such a resource quite useful. Hope to see it come to fruition.

I says - gimme a starting list and I'll sticky it :hmm:

[Sailor Steve]

Yay CCIP! I think it's a great idea. I'd even be willing to manage one like that, if somebody would show me how.

And thanks Mush for bringing it up in the first place.

[Mush Martin]

I mean we are all into it big or we wouldnt be here right.
so with 1100 pairs of eyes we can see a lot more.
it would represent quite a resource really.

does anybody have previous experience managing a sticky that
can fill us in on whats involved.

we obviously all know what more or less to do with said links
once we have them to keep it organized.

top of the sticky by catagory.

is there a way to make the top lists on the sticky editable by
all so later entries can be added and have them stay at the
top.

or is that where the sticky "manager" comes in and re does it every
six months or so.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

Whoever makes the first post in that sticky can edit it to add new links
Of course we can all edit our own further down but all the links need to be in the first post

So whoever is going to do it best get a list together and speak to CCIP

You can even make the first 4 posts so you have one for ships one for subs etc

Along those lines methinks

[Mush Martin]

as always brilliant.

I was wondering how but just open with a quick set of establishment posts
for each catagory and fill them in later of course I shouldve realized.

CCIP my freind are you actually interested in it or you steve
it sounds like it could be shaping up to be time consuming for
the first little while.

(dont take that as I am not interested in doing it.)

Mm

[bigboywooly]

Well its your idea Mush
:rotfl:
Crack on

[Mush Martin]

you know ive been blowing sunshine up your wazoo on other threads all day as a master ship builder. easy with that whip.

Im just doing the feeler now, its not a project yet but it sure sounds like a worthy one and I am interested in seeing it through

but as I said to you a few weeks ago.

Minimalist isnt a word that was invented by one
if it was the word would be

[Mush Martin]

Ok now at the top of the thread I listed a few possible catagories.
but this wouldnt be my resource it would be the communities
so maybe we should survey

What are the valid catagories that should be included in the sticky.

remember if its an odd single link like say "wattage of a liegh light"
there will be a miscellaneous catch all at the end for small issues.

[Mush Martin]

should it be just historical research, I think modding issues are sort of
already covered in tools and modifs.?
