• Someone who can open Page maker files, and help copy and paste, as well as format text for the Crown Poems section.

Discussion Items

Memories

• Memories on a populace page. Allow person to put memories of themselves?

Tricky. Probably a good idea though. More likely to get responses. Perhaps an encouragement to tell how they found the SCA and what keeps them in it? GulliverBlackrune

Households and Warbands

• Expand Households nomenclature? Already have received messages about this. What is a good set of words to include all the ideas. The only thing I can come up with is "Households, Warbands, and Other Populace formed Groups". Which is pretty wordy.
  • How about "People and Groups" per http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/sca-people/ ? (Fergal)
    • Really doesn't fit into the flow of what we have here. Groups signify a lot more that household units. I'm looking for a term to explain Households, but can't use households because many warbands hate that term. --Kolfinna 11:12, 23 June 2008 (PDT)
  • How about "Clans, Households, and Warbands"
    • What about Companies, Alliances, etc? There are soo many different type of Populace formed groups. That's why I'm trying to look for a descriptor for all. --Kolfinna 11:12, 23 June 2008 (PDT)
  • For right now I've converted it to Households and Warbands, I'm still looking for better wording, so please throw out more ideas. --Kolfinna 11:38, 23 June 2008 (PDT)
    • I think that works, most groups understandably group themselves under the term 'household', no matter what their actual designation. I know Warbands have an issue, and that's cool, too. But Clans, Alliances, Ships/shiphold, etc, they are just a chosen term for what we define as a 'household'. At some point we just have to go with what works.--Capnlot
    • I agree with what Lot says here. Semantics. Some groups do get picky. Just the distinctions between pirates, and privateers and Merchant sailors and salvage crews can make my teeth itch. The Naming Conventions on the Household and Warband page is a good repository for the variety of names. I suggest that it be expanded to include as many varieties as we can dredge up as well as perhaps some explanation of the differences. GulliverBlackrune
