    hey rabadi...i don't know if the "skill rating"/"power rating" is such a good idea...why, do you ask?

    because of YG vs. GJ vs. XF vs. Sweeper Monk vs. DGQB vs. a piece of trash like SQS

    i doubt we'll ever really agree on many of those power ratings. maybe best to leave them out...

    I guess I was really only talking about it from the software database stand-point, not from the wuxia I just remember that in Marvel Trading Cards my teenage cousin used to collect we can see rating from 1 to 6 scale (if I'm not mistaken) for speed, strength, intelligence, etc. I just thought it looked cool. But you are right, in wuxia it will probably quite hard to measure.

    hahahah! Imagine the fights over GJ 10/10/10 vs YG 9/10/9 vs XF 12/9/13 vs XZ 15/10/7 vs DY 12/11/5 vs Sweeper 14/15/15.

    Would never work!

    I wonder how those Marvel comic creators could agree upon their superheroes' rating. We need to learn from them

    No news on this project until today. So, this project has been abandoned?

    It's a part of my XML content management system (CMS) project. I will be developing a CMS for users involved in this kind of wuxia site (content based on Ken Cheng's first post). Maybe I'll develop it from scratch, maybe I'll base it on an existing one. Atm I'm in the requirement gathering and architectural design phase.

    I'm meeting with Han Solo and eeyore on Monday and maybe we'll talk a bit about that. After I finish the first draft of my requirement specification, I will post it here. You guys can review it and give me ideas & suggestions. Then I'll need some volunteers to develop and manage the contents and also testers for the website. If anyone's into website development (ie MySQL, PHP, CSS, XHTML, graphic design), your help would be appreciated. I'm not very good at drawing stuff so I'd love to have someone do the graphics (eg logo and banner, something related to wuxia) for me.

    If anyone is interested in this, please post here or PM me. Thanks

    Many thanks Lav Your input would be very much appreciated. By the way, the goal of the project is to build a knowledge base for the wuxia genre (not just Jin Yong novels) in English (so that maybe we can promote this genre among the English-speaking audience).

    Hi, I just sent you my first character bio. Take a look at it and tell me what should be changed. Oh, and of course you can safe Xiao Feng's sacrifice for later usage.

    Hi,
    Has there been any new development on this?
    Or has this been abandoned?

    Thanks.

    Candide is developing the technology to make it happen. When he's ready, we'll begin soliciting content contributions from members.

    The system is there, I just need to customise it and host it on some server. Atm I have a hectic work schedule so it'll have to be end of this month or beginning of December before I can launch the beta site. The hosting can take place early next year as I plan to hire a bunch of dedicated webservers for work (launch date is 3rd of Jan), and can probably put this project on one of them.

    I think we shouldn't bother with coding or developing a new systems or hosting a website, we can just use the wikipedia systems. Its free and very easy to edit and everybody can contribute

    The Wiki Pedia system has many limitations. It's only good for a general knowledge base, not a specified one like we have here (or want to do here). For instance, it cannot handle translations, which would be a big part of the site. Moreover, we would have no control over the maintenance of such a knowledge base, and as such, modifications are impossible. If something bad happened at their end, all of our contributions would be lost and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Also, it isn't really a first place someone would head to if he/she wants to look for wuxia information. Oh yeah, another thing: permissions of contributors. You don't want a clueless person to mess up your articles.

    if you need help hosting, let me know
    Thanks You can pay the hosting fee It'd be pretty cheap, as I'll be hosting it on my own (dedicated) server (so that I can have full control over it) which will be rolled out end of this year. Atm hosting fee is of no concern for me, but any contribution would be appreciated.
