February 4: Launch of Site.

So the million* or so monkeys behind this website have been working tirelessly at a million typewriters to get the notes system of this website running.

At some time on February 3rd to 4th (will give specifics closer to date, or you can even post suggestions for a suitable time)... there will be a 1 or 2 hour maintenance period to synchronise the notes system with the forum, and then we're launching. Live. With notes. Finally. ALSO, if you want your notes to appear FIRST with the live launch, e-mail them to [email protected] with:

- Subject
- Topic
- A brief description
- Your forum username

And they'll be the very first notes to go live with the site. People who donate notes at this time (I.E. before February 4th) may have custom titles of their choosing (within decency guidelines) on the forum as a token of my appreciation in helping to kick-start the site.

Do any of you have suggestions for anything we should do on launch day? This was mainly to inform you of what's happening, but if you have any ideas that you think we should use, fire away here.

I'll probably send stuff to you soon. My notes are (at times) a little strange. I have a document that lists questions (based on the study design) and another document that lists the answers for each area of study (in eco and psych) my theory being that if you can answer all the questions without notes, then you don't need to study anymore. I also have an essay for a not-that-popular literature book which may also be helpful, does that count as being 'notes'? Also, is there a minimum study score you should have gotten for the subject you're submitting notes for, or is that irrelevant?

I did exactly the same thing. It's definitely a great study technique that works.

Question:
After I submit stuff to this notes system (which btw, are nowhere near finished, but anyway), do I still own/have control over them or does FSN own them? Also, would I be able to chuck them up on other sites as well?

I'm not quite sure how the legal disclaimer will be worded just yet (it is still being drawn up). But no, you do not have automated control over them. This is to prevent people chucking hissy fits and deleting all of their stuff. You will retain most rights over your work, but again, I advise you to read our legal disclaimer once it's drawn up. I should note that all people who send me notes before the legal disclaimer goes up reserve the absolute and undeniable right to have their work removed if they do not agree with the disclaimer once it is up.

No minimum score for the subject. However, if you want to add credibility to your notes, in their description put "from a person who achieved x SS". If the study score wasn't so crash hot, just leave it. And we would be glad to receive anything that you would kindly donate. Thanks, Eriny. :)
