SL wouldn't even let me open most of the notecards, or even let me see my own avatar (Grrr, I hate that!), so if anyone wrote any I have missed for now, that will be why.

Liriel has agreed to help out from now on, so you're welcome to send new proof to her. Then hopefully things will get back up to speed with the charts, I am afraid I have been slacking the past month or two... or so...

I can see someone posted an idea about a wiki - and whatever you do, I would suggest that you all agree. Running separate charts in separate systems, handled by separate people, could easily divide the waters and make people unsure what and who to trust, and where to send any info they come across - and make it just difficult enough to not send it anywhere anyway.
The only reason the charts are what they are today, is because everyone knew exactly what to do with info, and trusted it to be handled in an ok way. I thank you all for that trust so far, and hope that no matter how the charts are handled in the future, it is in a way that people keep trusting the integrity of the people who make the final decisions on how to manage it all.

If you have ideas on how to improve the charts, I suggest you get together, for example at one of Liriel's classes, and agree on how to proceed. For now, I still hold the only access to the charts as they are right now, but I am more than willing to let them go if a sound idea comes up, backed by the community.
I would be sad to see you all split up and go separate ways with each your poor copy/paste of the current charts in hand - charts that would end up in different ways, depending on who sends what info to who, and who interprets that info in what way .
That would most certainly not be the most beneficial for the community, and I would hate to see my work so far be torn up in that way.

I hope you all agree on how to do things, so the KittyCats-community have ONE set of solid, trustworthy charts to rely on in the future as well.

Right now my main job will be to gather inputs, sort them out, and send finalized information to Saga to update the charts, so feel free to send me the information you'd normally send to Saga. My avatar is logged in most of the time, even when I'm AFK, so no worries about overrunning messages, etc, just please drop me an IM when you send me something so I know to look for it.

My initial focus will be to go thru all the crystal eye inputs and figure out what proofs are actually still valid with the known potential issue of a 'new' eye popping out in the special births (i.e. one that neither parent shows/hides), but I'll take inputs on all trait proofs any time.

For those of you who aren't aware, I worked with Saga a lot a year or so ago when she took a break from things, and we did this exact thing, so I'm well familiar with how she works and we work well together, so it made sense to continue in this vein. I'll also be incorporating Daki's idea of some 'gatherings' where we get together and discuss things and talk about what's needed to actually *prove* things to incorporate them into the charts. At least initially, these will be during my 'normal' class times, starting with this Thursday.

This will still be a huge community effort, my job will be just to review all the inputs and put the results into a format to send to Saga so she can easily incorporate them into the charts.
