Why Not Show Posts Here?
It would technically be possible to write code for the wiki add a "synchronize" button here. This button would automatically:
- check every staff member's link for new posts
- add new pages for any the wiki didn't already have (eg. at
/staff_posts/date) - update this page to show the latests quote for each staff member
Quotes would use the existing wiki format, eg.:
Update 7:22 PM, Saturday November 2nd: We're still working on getting Teal open. Unfortunately, there are some systems that need to be updated on Green in order to open teal correctly. Instead of rebooting Green right now, we're going to reboot it later tonight and then open Teal tomorrow afternoon. Sorry for the delay! Thanks.
There's only reason that's not feasible right now: cross-domain scripting rules. Without getting technical, for security browsers prevent code on "wiki.project1999.com" from talking to "www.project1999.com.
There are ways around this, and the simplest would probably be for Rogean to add a "proxy" URL to the wiki server (eg. so wiki.project.com/forums/ acted like www.project1999.com/forums) ... but that's still a bunch of extra work for Rogean. Also, Rogean is not known for being an attention-seeker, and neither is the rest of the staff, so the idea of people paying even more attention what they post likely won't appeal to them.
So until he sees value in having a wiki-based staff post tracker ... or until a player hosts their own (CORS-enabled) proxy ... this page has to remain "manual". Players could manually re-create staff posts here, as with the Rogean example above, but that's likely far too much trouble to be worth it.
