Tasks

  • Go through all the Lord of the Rings news websites and gather any news of events and put them into articles.
  • Create a geographical navigation system. For instance Harondor would have a compass, a visitor could click the North symbol to be directed to Lebennin, they could click the West symbol to be directed to Bay of Belfalas, etc. The system would have tiers. You could navigate continents such as Middle-earth, Numenor, etc. then there would be a level of navigation for major regions like Gondor and Eriador, then another level for cities.
  • A Fellowship of the Ring route which allows one to follow the region articles linearlly just as the Fellowship of the Ring did.
  • Create an article for every year of every Age on Arda, as well as for every year in the real world, starting from at least J.R.R. Tolkien's birth.
  • Decide on a slogan for TolkienNews.net. And maybe a new title? Tolkien Times?
  • Fix any broken links

  • Fix alphabetical listing to only show A's, B's, etc, on one page.
  • Add links to forum threads
  • Find a way to ban bots without forcing users to register.
