New Site Launched

Post by WarVoid »

In an effort to begin a makeover of the Apollo Foundation, I've begun taking steps to overhaul its various procedures, rules and assets in order to make it a more professional and contributory organisation.<br>
<br>
Rather than dealing with just the Apollo Sector, as it was originally envisioned, the Apollo Foundation has come to be a repository for all past micronationalism. The new site emphasises this point and attempts to focus more objectively on the areas which truely require preservation.<br>
<br>
Rather than tying up empty land at the MCS, the Foundation can now serve as a databank to store and retain the intellectual rights and information on various dead micronations whose founders wish to let their graves rest in peace.<br>
<br>
The new site is still under construction. All materials are present, but by "under construction", we mean that there is still more information we intend to add. Especially to the microbase and the small states index, which will most likely be open-ended projects.<br>
<br>
The new site can be found here;<br>

The new site looks pretty cool. Wouldn't the best way to contribute articles and information on history be through the microwiki though?

The microwiki is "Shirecentric", in that it is not only hosted by Shireroth, but it tends to lean towards that as well. Additionally, the microwiki is a collection of <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>all</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> articles and information, whereas the Foundation is dedicated to only specific articles and information.<br>
<br>
The microwiki is good for a seasoned micronationalist to use. But for someone new to the hobby, it's ungainly and not very informative in answering the "how do I?" questions. That's the gap I intend to fill with articles hosted here. Even if that means authoring them myself.

I see. That makes sense. The site has a lot of potential. It just seems the hardest part will be collecting the necessary information and wikis make it easier for people to contribute. <br>
<br>
What specifically are you looking to include in the articles? Anything covering the list of nations?

The articles section is intended to cover the basic "old school" material of micronationalism; Robert's Rules of Order, How to Start Your Own Country, etc, etc.<br>
<br>
Any information in regards to the small states index will be placed on seperate pages made specifically for the nation the info accompanies. I.E. For example, if you contributed info about Paramount, it would be placed on a seperate page the covers only material about that particular nation. That page would be linked to the SS index (which will be sorted alphabetically shortly).<br>
<br>
Information can include flags, blubs, a summary, history, other graphics used on either the site or forum, and so forth.
