Future Plans

To Do List

his is my current to do list for Magic Jar.

  1. Add more content, complete incomplete content.

  2. As I develop content for my in-house roleplaying games, and use it up, place it online.

  3. Make a Formatting Object stylesheet, and use one of the FO to PDF/PS formatters to generate print-quality content for all the XML content on the site. This will probably also involve me changing many of the currently HTML pages into XML pages, and stop using HTML copying in the DTD (instead, making up a simple, consistent formatting model for roleplaying content).

  4. Create a DTD for the XML data I use.

  5. Use Namespaces more, so that the HTML-copying works out better

  6. Create richer DTDs for things like characters, towns, etc. Try to use existing DTDs (and other people's ideas) as much as possible.

  7. Add a Contributions page, and make up some sort of ritual for contributing content. Extend the DTD to include authorship, but probably don't require people to submit in XML. Sounds creepy.

  8. Have fun, and eat ice cream.
