Ok as suggested by Christer, here is an actual thread for any and all that would be interested in breathing life back into the GLN. So please post here what you could do and what you would be willing to help with. Serious commitments to this are needed to bring GLN back to life. So if you feel that you could edit, write, do graphics, strong arm people into doing any of the above, post it or contact me via PM or IRC.

*raises hand*
I am willing to at least make a contribution by writing one or two articles, but am willing to chip in on more levels if necessary, depending on what is necessary. (I am not very good with tags and HTML, but I have skills on the creative side of things.) |

I am willing. I don't play as much these days because I mostly lurk but I do have enough spare time to be able to contribute some of it.
I am able to do most graphics editing required (though I am not as creative a being as some masters around here) and I have a sharp eye for editing, proof reading and layout. Also I would be quite happy to contribute my writing skills to an article an issue or something like that (depending on the frequency of issues intended of course!) |

A while ago I was approached to write a piece about defense in general. I did write an 'article', it became rather theoretical and abstract but - I hope - still insightful. I gave it to the coach approaching me, but so far it hasn't been published to my knowledge.
Might need a bit of editing, but I'd gladly throw it in. |

I'v been here for a while, lurking around big time. I'd love to help out with the GLN to do my share for the community. I would like to do coach interviews, so we all could get to know some of the legendary coaches we all want to know the juicy parts about. A interview series could be an idea? I should point out I'm not the greatest at english, so there is need of proofreading.

Well Im trying to gather people and commitments to this. I would be willing to be the driving force behind it. I have been looking for awhile to give back more to the site. I am noting the suggestions that are coming forward and am starting to get some good ideas as to what this could be. However, if someone else feels they are a better choice then I would step aside untill then Im gonna harass and bug people. Hopefully we can revive GLN

you were the first person i thought of when the other thread got revived ro.
I'd love to help out in some capacity. I'd like to do a regular series of articles based on my old "tactica idiotica" blog posts as well as maybe throwing in the occasional slightly more serious article (god knows i love the sound of my own voice ) and am happy to help with chasing others if nesessery (as long as someone promises to chase me to remind me to chase others)
My main faults here are a total lack of coding ability and spelling that frequently leads people to accuse me of actualy being spiros second account.
Also if you need some fumbbl bikini models for the "centre spread" itd be a good way to use the coaches who volunteered for mah zons project |

One though..... if we're gonna do this lets make sure we really do this time. The GLN is awsome and deserves a proper run at it.
My serious suggestions would be:
a) realistic due dates. its better to get 1 gln every 4 months than be promised it every 2 and not get it at all
b) dont set a date for teh first issue. its only gonna depress us all when we miss it by a mile. anounce it when its almost totaly complete instead then you'll know how long its likely to take to get each issue out
c) is it possible to get some sort of "GLN contibutor" tag on coaches pages (like the fumbbl supporter one)??? personaly i couldnt care less but if it encourages just a few more articles then id say itd be worth it.
EDIT:
d) dont let me submit articles when ive ben drinking or ther all going to look like this.... |
