Alright, I'll take the initiative from the conversation started in the Future of AMV Hell thread, and actually start a thread dedicated to making this a reality.
From what I can see, several things are still in concept stages. With Zarx no longer at the helm, we're going to need to get some planning done for how we want to go about things, and the decisions will be left to the community at large. At this point, organization and a point-by-point list of items to decide I believe are necessary to get the ball rolling.
The primary issues that I've seen raised so far are:
1. Who will judge which clips are accepted? Will it be one person? A group? A group with one person in charge as a tie breaker? Will only the mods be eligible? Or can it be someone voted on by the community?
2. What is the end product we want to make, and what format do we believe will best get us there? Do we want to give it a set release date as in the past? Do we want to change it up and use some other benchmark to decide when there's enough content, and let it just be polished until it's done?
3. When do we start collecting clips? How will we handle the submissions?
I'm going to motion that #1 be addressed first. I believe we need to decide on our management for the project first so that we can have someone to set the guidelines on how we collect the remaining information (such as deciding what minor items deserve a vote by the community and which can just be executive ordered, how long and what format community votes are taken in, etc.).
I further motion we designate a panel of judges, a small, odd number, either three or five, that will be the deciders in how the project is organized and what clips are accepted, by simple majority vote. To split the workload up to a reasonable level, the judges would be able to designate additional people in charge of certain managerial aspects, (For example, placing someone in charge of promotional work; online announcements, trailers [real or fake], etc.), but voting power would remain with community designated judges. To keep things simple to organize, I move we designate three judges to start with. If this seems to be insufficient, we can raise a new community vote for additions as needed. As part of the motion, I move we have a week for nominating potential judges, each nomination requiring both a second and the candidate's acceptance. After the nominations are in, we then have a further week for voting via hidden poll, with the top three candidates being chosen.
Any additional thoughts, input, suggestions, questions? Let's get some dialogue started here, I want to see this **** happen, people!
