The Global Development Team: Informations



Because a little reminder cannot hurt:

Scripters should help to provide high quality reference material both in the form of raw reference tables and in prose. Tutorials are also good. Graphic artists and levellers can also contribute tutorials which show how to create specific effects and reduce errors.

*Helping those who need it. That means being in the front line when people need your help. You have been given a global development team tag, please use it when you are able to. We've also set up the irc channel at #graaldt on irc.freenode.net; your participation would be nice.

*Helping with server projects. Sometimes staff from a server may call upon you for advice or even for a helping hand. If you feel a requested project is reasonable, feel free to participate. If you don't feel it's reasonable for you, suggest people who may be interested, gdt members or otherwise. The important thing is to remember you are not obligated; the gdt are not slave labourers and shouldn't be taken for granted. However, the local management still has final say on any matters. It is not your role to be involved in administrative duties in any way.

*Providing core packages which people can use to rapid prototype servers. Create public content (core packages) that could be used on all servers.

*Serve as a bridge between stefan and graal's development community. This involves recommending features that are generally desired and creating demonstrations of features that have been added by stefan.

*Serve as advisers to developers and playerworld management. This would involve evaluating content or just giving general tips about development in general.

*Respect the privacy of the server. Do not share information with other servers that you see.

For those interested in applying we've broke it down into 4 general areas. Scripting, graphics, levels and gani's. While many of you have multiple talents this is for organizational purposes and whats considered the primary talent. We will attempt to provide members to help in all areas of development. We've attempted to make the application process simple, but you must bear in mind that not all of us are aware of your capabilites so in many cases an application process is required.
Hello and welcome to the official information thread of the Global Development Team ! I will provide all informations you guys need about the GDT and how we will process.

Applications:
-They will be reviewed every single day by myself and sent to a random existing member of the GDT, depending on the area of expertise, for a second review and opinion.

How existing and future members will work in the team:
-GDT Members are free to work on anything they want. I will review weekly what everyone is doing.
Busy GDT Members will need to send a little document back to me where everything they have done will be written for me to review, and this every 2 weeks.

How to join:
Below is the official global development team application. Please email your applications responses to [email protected]
or submit through the guild control panel:here. We will follow up on applications that pique our interest.


--->Application.txt<--- (click to download)

A few other requirements:
-Be somewhat active on forums
-Be as active as possible on the GDT's IRC Channel


If you got any other question about the GDT, feel free to forum pm me.
All other informations existing members of the GDT need to know will be posted in the GDT subforum.

Glad to see you're making some stuff public. I'd also like to recommend:
  • The list of GDT members (which may not be up-to-date) contains people with no examples of work or contact information, which eliminates part of the GDT's goal.
  • Maintaining a public list of projects being done.

Can we already get a moratorium on GDT-related threads until you guys have some actual progress to share?

At the very least, there's this release.

I'd just like to point out that there are some moderate contradictions in the description of what a GDT member's job is and there is no real indication of how things may or may not take priority (with the exception of the broad statement listed as Role #1).

Take that observation how you will, so long as it's not offensively.

Would someone be willing to add my email to the contact info? [email protected]

Not sure if it matters, but could add that I'm current manager of UN, too.
