This is an announcement about the official opening of Jedi Online’s Writings Database!! A couple of months ago a hit a couple of sites asking people for permission to post their writings in one large database that people could download from and read. It is basically an Online Library. All files are in PDF format which makes it easy for ANYONE to read. You do not even have to register to download the articles. However, the thing that makes this database nice is that it can be added to. If you would like to add a writing to the database, all you have to do is register and you will be able to upload files to the database. The only requirement is you have to follow the instructions on the login page for uploads. There is a certain way each article should be setup to make it easier for everyone to read. All of this is explained on the login page for the Online Library. All articles must also be in PDF format. If you do not have a way to convert to PDF there is a great free program you can install that will allow you to convert anything to PDF, again, this is explained on the login page for the Online Library.
This database is not starting with nothing in it. I spent about a month collecting articles from a number of websites, with the author’s permission. They have all been converted to PDF and uploaded to the database. This was an extremely tedious project as there were about 240 articles that I collected up front. I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Callista Gseran and Maldar for helping me with this. They took a number of the articles and converted them to the proper format which really helped me out and allowed me to get this finished much faster then I could have on my own. So thank you again!!
The Online Library is broken up into categories, and hopefully, there are plenty of categories to cover all the topics needed. However, if you find you need a category created, or, if you can not convert some writings to PDF, there will be a contact form, basically just sending me an email for now but I will have a form method up soon. If you need a category created just let me know in that form/email, or, if you need to send some files to me, just submit your email to me saying you can’t convert your writings and I’ll send you an email so you can email me your writings. The database can also be searched by topic, title, author, and a few other methods.
I hope you all enjoy the writings currently on file and I hope many of you choose to upload your own writings. Just make sure you check the login page so you can find out what you need to do before you upload the writing.
Jedi Online will also be adding a number of other features over the next couple of months, so please check the site frequently for new polls, poll results, more additions to the Jedi Online Library, a complete history of the Jedi movement to date, and many more features coming soon!!
You can find it all at www.jedionline.org
So anyone and all, please add your own writings to the Library so this database will continue to grow and prove to be a powerful resource for members of old and new!!
Please Spread the word on this, I will do my best to hit as many sites as possible!!
