    Now, I could do the writing part. How long and indepth are you looking for?

    I'm an aspiring semi-proffesional writer, myself...what sort of descriptions do you need?

    If I get some time on my hands, I can be a writer. Just send me what you want me to write (notes, whatever) and tell me what to do with it. I can be a very good writer when I really put my mind to the task.

    Looks like you're not lacking for writing volunteers, but that's the only thing in which I could be of any help. Here is something I wrote for the writing contest a couple of months back.

    I'm sorry, I know that above hasn't been very informative; In the future these listings will be fleshed out. By researcher/writer we mean someone who will take a list of buildings, for instance, for a particular faction, and research how these buildings would have been used by that faction in antiquity, and write descriptions for each building. The person should be highly active, proactive really, and be willing to put some time into it.

    So, we'll need someone with time, a reasonably good grasp of the English language, and the committment to join the team and continue to write descriptions rather that write one, download the mod, and then disappear, as some of our recent new members have done.

    What kind of research is expected from individuals, and from which sources is such information to be derived (classical sources, modern commentaries, etc.)? I consider myself reasonably well informed about history, but I'm not certain if I could rise to the standards of EB when it comes to historical accuracy. Is there a chance you could post an example building, how research was done for it, and the description written about it? And what kind of hours put into the work are expected each week? Any information on what's expected from volunteers would be much appreciated.

    That I can do.

    Honestly though, you should have two or three people working on it as a whole, so you can pick and choose which you like. Yes, it's a security risk, but it's better in the long run.
