- Faiak, Squarebanks, or what? Do we want to eliminate real names and places totally or not? I'm a fan of Faiak (if only because Oz uses it so much), but we need to consistent about it. - Abunai

(I'm a fan of Faiak (its what's on the HGLJ), but I've been using Fairbanks. Created an Anchortown one. - Alter)

*I favor the Faiak term m'self...always have* - Rabbit

- I move for Faiak, use of Aliases, and the like. We're real-world, but not that real world. Oz

What about images? Should we have a poll or a 'consent' email or something before posting Lanning images? - Alter

*Well if we're listing schools and whatnot, where's the sense in disguising the town names?* - Rabbit

(I haven't been 'disguising' town names. Anchortown is just what Oz, Quas and I called it on our 'road trip' and FaiAk is what it's been called for years. So either it's tradition (or lack of changing...) - Alter)

- What about Anchortown getting put into "Remote Sites"? I put it in "Core Places" because it's my base of operation, not like West Valley or Lathrop which most of us have graduated and have very few connections with anymore - Alter

- I put it in Remote Sites because for most of us, Anchortown is pretty remote. I guess it never occurred to me that one might consider it "core" to HG. I mean, I didn't exactly put my house down, Kenske's, or even Q's, despite the fact that both have had, at times, substantial Geek activity. They just aren't and haven't been core, whereas the Ship, Blood Gulch, and the Pantheon have all been focal points of Geek activity. Godhand's Garage is more arguable, but I think you could counter-argue that during the Golden Age, it was a key, prime, totally rad location (We staged AVP LAN from there!). - Abunai

- I'll try to add in Back to ToC links in pages when I can; if you want to help, great! - Abunai

Pages Needing Content

- The House Geek summary could use a firming-up of the history, if anyone wants to tackle it. I'll correct any overt errors if need be. - Oz

-I added a bunch to the Things page. Also, cocks. -Gregor

Unlinked pages

- AcaDeca is written, but unlinked to by any of the Table of Contents pages. Should it go in Things, somewhere? - Abunai (Other Organizations, I'd think. - Oz)

*Seconded, Oz* - Rabbit

Unwritten pages

- Should we add Koyetay in at some point? - Abunai

(We should. And his cats. - Alter)

- Gregor also added the West and Lathrop pages; should we add a UAF page, or would that too awkward and/or complicated for some of you? - Abunai

(Not awkward, just add a UAA page, or Possibly an 'other schools' page - Alter)

As in, for the people who aren't currently degree-seeking students because of crap grades - Abunai

- DoPaNA, DoLA, the Executive Branch should also probably be written at some point. - Abunai

- Some of the Events should be written before we can forget. You can probably check the HG LJ community archives for info on some of them - Abunai

- Added emphasis to Events - Oz

- Wow. There's actually a shit-ton of LAN reports and other Wiki gold if you start from the beginning of the HG LJ. I'm having a great time remembering all this stuff, too. - Abunai

*Should we have pages for games? - Oz

(The question is, can we give information on games that is both informative and House related? I say, yes. -Arsi)

*I would like to see more written on the Golden Age, as I was not around at its peak.* - Rabbit

(Seconded for Rabbit, with the inclusion of Non-geek periphrial members. Like Anna, Kim, Olga, Jan, etc. - Alter)

- Umm, I don't have a page, but feel awkward writing of myself. Is that the way this is done, or what? - Farcedude (In a lot of cases, yes. I'll add you to personell either way. -Oz)
