Forum:SH Archive/Looking ahead: The next barn-burner

Hey there everyone. It's now been over a month since the conclusion of our first barn-burner. I think I can safely say that it was a roaring success. The community came together and brainstormed ideas; helped each other out with information from sources; wrote a ton of articles; reviewed and critiqued each other's work; and designed some bitchin' templates. We produced seven Featured Articles (with one article still on the FAN page), twenty-six Good Articles, and eight Comprehensive Articles. The seven FAs will be showcased consecutively this month in a special front-page "Wookiee Week." I'd like to extend my thanks to everyone who helped out in any way. It really was a community effort, and I think we all had a good time.

In my original proposal for the barn-burners, I suggested that we do one either tri-monthly or tetra-monthly. If we want to take the former route, then next month will be go-time. If we think that's too frequent, there's always September. August might be fun, as everybody is more active on the site in the summer. Anyway, I'm hoping that people will chime in here with ideas on when they'd like to proceed.

I'd also like to see some ideas floated for Barn Burner Numbah two. As I picked the last topic, I'll refrain from making any suggestions this time around. Everybody else, go nuts. Also, to promote the community spirit of these things, I'm hoping that someone else will volunteer to lead the next one. It's easy as pie (Sorry Kilson; you're probably hungry now). Any takers?

That's it from me. Float suggestions, suggest a month, and volunteer to lead it. Go! Menkooroo 06:51, July 4, 2011 (UTC)
