How you can help the DKC Atlas project...
Posted: March 2nd, 2008, 1:13 pm
Lots of you have expressed interest in helping with the development of DKC Atlas, which is great, as there's lots to be done!
This topic is to help me keep track of what needs to be done to develop and improve both the Atlas (website) and this forum, and to help organise anyone who might be able to help. If you think you would be able to lend a hand with any of these tasks, please post here!
Please don't submit actual content suggestions here; there are (or will soon be) topics available for that.
Soon I hope to have the site and forum integrated completely, so this topic will serve as a discussion of this integration, as well as every other aspect of the DKC Atlas project; including the level mapping project, the DKC2 and DKC3 Atlases, community articles and reviews, and the promotion of Atlas-sponsored projects (such as the DKC Level Builder and Resource Editor).

DKC Atlas Forum To-Do List:
Do you have any advanced skills or knowledge that could benefit the development of DKC Atlas?

If you think you have skills/knowledge to offer, and would like to help DKC Atlas, head over to the User Groups topic and let us know.
Here's to the future of DKC Atlas!
