+Add new discussion topics at the bottom of the page (or use the "Add Topic" link).
-Ok, we do not have a good way of communicating right now. We need to set some standards and start creating templates and populating the pages. I'm creating a Google Group which will allow us to keep email communications. If you do not want to be on this list - do not respond. I don't think you have to do anything to remove yourself from it.
-Any suggestions? I think that wikis are great - but not the best for communicating in this form. --[[User:Bingobar|Bingobar]] 19:05, 16 January 2011 (MST)
-: There is now an IRC and Google Group. See the following categories on the page, or the [[Glitch_Strategy:Community_portal]] for more info. --[[User:Bingobar|Bingobar]] 13:13, 31 January 2011 (MST)
-Wait, what's wrong with the Glitch Strategy Wiki group forum [http://alpha.glitch.com/groups/RLI10HMCMQL1MBR/] we've been using? Not dying to give out my email address [edit: you'll see below that I created a new email account so this isn't an issue for me any longer] - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]]
+Remember to sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.
-Prefer not to give out my email address as well, but I admit the Glitch groups are a pita to post in sometimes (tip: post in html mode). Vote to remain in the glitch wiki group. -[[User:Ping|Ping]] 22:03, 16 January 2011 (MST)
+Archived discussions can be found [[Glitch_Forever_talk:Communications/Archive|here]].
-Well, good point about the Glitch groups. Well I've created a forwarding gmail address which I'll put on my user page so that (I think) at least I can read the Google Group even if I don't respond. - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 22:08, 16 January 2011 (MST)

+<hr>
-Good idea, Eglantine. Did the same. -[[User:Ping|Ping]] 22:54, 16 January 2011 (MST)
-Who's joining this? I will if others we're all going to use it. - [[User:Hburger|Hburger]] 09:23, 17 January 2011 (MST)
-Hburger - I'm not sure anyone has signed up yet since Bingobar hasn't given any information on how to do so. BTW, I just learned yesterday that you can automatically sign your posts on wiki by typing "~" four times in a row into the page :), check it out using the "Show Preview" button - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 09:02, 17 January 2011 (MST)
-Ahhh! I was wondering how you guys did that! Thanks! - [[User:Hburger|Hburger]] 09:23, 17 January 2011 (MST)
-The Glitch encyclopedia has been heavily updated. Now they list more basic information about things (I looked at a spice). [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 13:06, 18 January 2011 (MST)
-How do I connect to the Google Group?  Either is fine with me.  [[User:Lelu|Lelu]] 15:11, 18 January 2011 (MST)
-I personally think that the Google Group would be better, but it seems like most people think differently. Whichever is fine with me! [[User:Houdini|Houdini]] 11:58, 19 January 2011 (MST)
-== Requests for automated bot edits ==
-For all items, under Actions, can a bot put information for 'Drop' and 'Give', so it's uniform across everywhere and saves time...? - [[User:Hburger|Hburger]] 10:11, 20 January 2011 (MST)
-:Done - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]]
-Is it possible to add the primary artist's name to the infobox for places?  For example, [[Wintry Place]] article attributes it to [[Kukubee]], but it might be nice if that was inside the infobox template.  Is there an existing field or label that can be utilized for this?  It might be nice further in the future of ''Glitch'' to give clearer credit to artists, plus act as an incentive for new artists to contribute... [[User:Kaushka|Kaushka]] 08:46, 4 February 2011 (MST)
-:Terrific idea! It's on my to-do list now. Feel free to bug me if it's not done in a week, ok? - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 14:57, 4 February 2011 (MST)
-== Adding a copyright notice ==
-I think the Homepage (at the very least) should have a Glitch / Tiny Speck copyright notice for some of the content.  Something like:
-"'''Images Copyright © 2009-2011 Tiny Speck, Inc. All rights reserved. Used With Permission.'''" Perhaps make it part of the normal page template? [[User:Kaushka|Kaushka]] 07:59, 5 February 2011 (MST)
-:+1 [[User:Ixirim|Ixirim]] 09:26, 5 February 2011 (MST)
-:That would probably be a good idea, screenshots will get out anyway though.[[User:Aniloverl|Aniloverl]] 15:47, 5 February 2011 (MST)
-:+1, [[User:Herp_Derp|Herp]] is the only one with powers to do this so we'll have to ask him.  - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 17:04, 5 February 2011 (MST)
-== IRC ==
-By the way, if you want easy communication and chat, setting up an IRC channel on irc.lurkmore.com would be fine. There's the #glitch channel already on there but it's open to non-wiki Glitchizens as well. Setting up a #glitchwiki channel would be a good idea. [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 15:12, 19 January 2011 (MST)
-Oh, Houdini, I'm totally fine with the Google Group now that I have a glitch-only email address... just waiting to get an invitation for it. Johnny, is the existing lurkmore IRC channel the one here: [[Glitch_Strategy:Community_portal]]? - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 17:18, 19 January 2011 (MST)
-Eglantine: Oh, OK. And yes, the existing IRC channel is that one. [[User:Houdini|Houdini]] 10:08, 20 January 2011 (MST)
-I hadn't noticed that page. It's the same network, though you might want to use a different channel for the wiki stuff and general chat in the #glitch channel with non-wiki people. [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 10:52, 20 January 2011 (MST)
-A separate #glitchwiki channel would be pretty smart I think, if you know how to create that. Also, as I'm new to IRC myself... can you tell me how to get a history of the chat that I missed while I was offline? Believe it or not, even I go for hours sometimes with my computer turned off! - [[User:Eglantine|Eglantine]] 12:46, 20 January 2011 (MST)
-: You might be able to get a copy of someone's log. Mine will probably be very broken up so try asking someone else in channel first! [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 00:42, 21 January 2011 (MST)
-A key has been set on #glitchwiki, it is ''gstrat''. In mIRC (and likely, most clients) you would use the command '''''/join #glitchwiki gstrat''''' to join. [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 00:42, 21 January 2011 (MST)
-Does anyone use the irc?  [[User:Aldaris|Aldaris]] 13:07, 29 January 2011 (MST)
-: Yes. We do. I'm pretty much idle all the time (thanks ZNC!). The more people idling, the more possibility for using it as an easy communication tool. --[[User:Bingobar|Bingobar]] 15:10, 31 January 2011 (MST)
-== Google Group ==
-Anyone can apply for membership over at [https://groups.google.com/group/glitch-strategy?hl=en groups.google.com/group/glitch-strategy]. I'm adding the people I see here who say "yes". Get in contact with the other little Glitchians you know who may be interested. --[[User:Bingobar|Bingobar]] 15:44, 20 January 2011 (MST)
-'''Guys, although the Google group is nice, it's a bit spammy and the amount of time for communication could be cut down if you used IRC. I can set up a bot to log and you can access the logs on a passworded page.''' [[User:Johnny|Johnny]] 12:13, 31 January 2011 (MST)
-: Is it spammy? I rather like email communication - it keeps it personal and quick (attach files too). IRC's a that littl'e bit more complicated and don't really allow for such detailed/long answers... - [[User:Hburger|Hburger]] 12:48, 31 January 2011 (MST)
-: I don't really feel that it's spammy. It keeps things in threads, and I have gmail everywhere...so it makes it much easier to see replies. Not only that, but if you don't like getting notifications every time, just make a Gmail filter that labels them and skips the inbox. There you go! No more spammy! --[[User:Bingobar|Bingobar]] 13:07, 31 January 2011 (MST)
