Hi, Jonathan.
As you might have noted in other threads, I have created a little tool
that I have christened the ESDB - Elder Scrolls Data Base - at
lowgenius.com.
The purpose of this database is to create a community-produced omnibus
'encyclopedia' of the Elder Scrolls game world - this includes, of
course, anything concerning Morrowind, but I'm also hoping to get
historical information about Tamriel/Nim, and information about ARena,
Daggerfall, and the other ES games, past and future, into the DB.
Of course, this requires a great deal of input from people other than
myself - I'm a database and web designer, data *entry* is something I
loathe
I have a few volunteers already who are working on inputting data, but
the engine has only been online for a couple of days, and there are still
a few shortcomings (for instance, there's not much in the way of
navigation). I'll be fixing this over the next few days, but the engine
IS in place and you CAN use it right this minute.
I have NOT put the ESDB on putlic display yet, because it's almost
completely empty. Still, it sounds like the information you have
collected/collated is just the type of thing I'm hoping to include here.
I would only ask that, if you are using information that has been
*directly copied* from existing documents, that you secure the permission
of the original authors and be sure to credit them. (I would also prefer
that, rather than just copying and pasting, you do your own writing, but
I understand that this might not be practical with a large body of
information such as you have described.)
There is also a space within the ESDB for contributors to add links to
various sites.
You'll need to register and then log in to contribute; you can find more
information at the ESDB home page,
http://www.lowgenius.com/games/mwind/faq
If this thing gets big enough, eventually I'll buy a domain for it.
It will help if you have a good grasp of basic HTML, but the ReadMe file
(you'll find a link when you log in) will cover the most basic things
you'll need to knwo, and I'm always available via e-mail if you need any
help.
