One of the suggestions that came out of today’s discussion was having a central form for TAD creators to fill out each day with info about their creation for that day. Ideally whatever system we build to handle this info would allow each creator to have their own link, so the system would know who is filling it out and the info would be categorized correctly. The form would include fields such as:
-name of the day’s work
-link to the day’s work
-secondary (or even tertiary) links to other places the work is posted
-notes from the creator
From the results of this form, we could auto-populate a number of things, including but not limited to:
-the Discord #thing-posts channel
-a relevant post in the forum
-a TAD twitter bot
-a central place where ALL the month’s work is represented together (currently represented by the google spreadsheet - could continue to just be a spreadsheet but it could be something cooler)
Since the form has a place for the creator to add notes, the posts wouldn’t just be dry representations of the work, but would have the author’s voice represented.
It was also suggested that there could be a spot on the form to add a link to the author’s own tweet about it, and if that part of the form were filled out with a valid URL, the bot would retweet that instead.
