Calling All Link Checkers and Coders!

[Porphyria Ashenden]

Cindy reminded us:

Attention other coders:

Here are some FAQs that it would help if someone were to link the 
post numbers:

Dursley Family
Minerva McGonagall
Ron
Lord Voldemort
Government

For the FAQs (like McGonagall) that cite threads, I guess just link 
to the message list beginning on that date, or the first post in the 
thread if you can find it:

(YG-20/10/2000) would link to 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/messages/4123
(note "messages" not "message" will get you the list)

Pull the HTML from here: http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/faq/ 

When done, drop them in here: 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP4GU-FAQ/files/FAServersStaging/ 
with a note in the comment section saying "linked by myHandle" then 
announce to the list that you need someone to check the links. 

Between now and the weekend I'll tackle converting the format for all 
the other FAQs that don't have many or any linking needs. I will do: 
Universal Appeal, Book Banning, Lawsuits, Religion, Romance, 
Predictions, Devices, Wands, Neville, FanFic and Recommended Reading 
(a FAQ I like and want to keep). 

I'll make sure all recently completed FAQs have the right format and 
are put into the Staging server (i.e. Mysteries, History, Siri I and 
II, Snape). Since Becker is trouncing its competition, I'll use that 
header. I'll also do the remaining link corrections that people have 
sent me.

When I'm done with that, I'll see if I can link the other five if 
they go unclaimed by then. 

Boy! Good thing my husband will be out of town this weekend. 

Is there an update on the status of hpfgu.org.uk? It will help us a 
lot when that server comes back online. :-)

Cindy, I think we can get something done by Friday 11/15 if the FA 
server is actually online by then. There might be some things left 
undone -- we won't have time to do all the link checking by then, and 
maybe some of the old FAQs will remain unlinked until I get to them 
next weekend. Still, we can always make corrections and updates as we 
go if you want to stick to the deadline. If I foresee a horrible 
delay, I'll know by this Sunday night.

I second this. If anyone notices some huge thing we're forgetting, 
now would be a great time to bring it up.
