So over the past two weeks we in the Screened Community have really come together to help make this site even better and I can't tell you how proud I've been of the results. So since we're getting close to the big summer movie season, with the Avengers about to start it off in two weeks, I was wondering if we should start coming together as a site to do things for these big releases. Like maybe when a movie comes out members can volunteer to fill out the wiki page, write some blogs about it, create some character pages, etc. These are just some basic ideas because I can't really think of anything better, so I figured I'd open it up to you guys. Do you think the Screened Community should organize ourselves around these big releases, and if so what do you guys think we should do for the Avengers release?

Sounds good to me. Just give me a list of what you need done and I'll do it.

Edit: We could do that thing that Animevice does with their wiki site. Every week they spotlight a couple wiki sites that need edits. What do you think about that?

I can set some wiki tasks for the characters, previous movies, and ect.

Just tell me some of the pages that need work and I'll set some tasks (there are already some comic book pages up for tasks that need work up for grabs).

Sound like a great idea, although as far as wiki edits go it should absolutely be done through the task system as Dasa mentioned.

If not, the big problem would be that a few people would write awesome stuff for the same page simultaneously, and then of course only one of their hard work would be needed for the page.

I think it's a great idea all around. I think set up wiki tasks for the Avengers page as well as the main characters (if needed). Sure, there might be someone who adds something to the page beforehand but the wiki tasks would be the best way to ensure the page gets what it needs and then that person gets the recognition for doing a majority of the work.

@rem25: Yep! Also, in the specific wiki task pages there's a message board thing just like here in the forums. So as long as people communicate (like, "I'm just adding stuff about Cap's Shield") that overlap situation shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Hulk and Iron Man both have new tasks set. Get them while you can!

Any other suggestions are welcomed :)

@rem25: They both have pages and both are already well filled out! Check them out: Hawkeye, Black Widow

Tasks are up! Go and get them!

Really great work everyone, I had no idea so many folks would want to do something for this release. I just submitted a new blog about the Avengers that I want to try and lead into a video (you can read it here).

Speaking of videos, anyone know how to capture video footage on your computer. I ask because if I can figure out how to do it, then I might try my hand at putting together a "Here's what you missed" style video on the Avengers, the kind that we used to have back in the old days of Screened.

@obscurefan: I can help you out with that. Throw me a PM with what type of computer you have (PC or Mac), and editing software you use.

If anyone else has any video related questions, especially pertaining to the video features we used to do on Screened, feel free to contact me!
