Done! I added some instructions as well. I hope those who are more tech-savvy can improve upon them. Thanks. Content Recommendations Super Challenge Edited by BAnna on 27 April 2014 at 4:51pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm back within range of some reliable internet, so here's a quick update on the
twitter bot: - The sign-ups are going well, and on the 30th I'll be resetting any recorded minutes/pages to zero for the beginning of the challenge. - There didn't seem to be an overwhelming push for challenge types, so I'll leave the but as it currently is and instead put some time into getting the star system up and running. I also agree about the motivational factor in this - and I'm looking forward to starting the challenge myself!
This shouldn't be hard, I'll put it on my list. If I read this right, it's primarily a way to turn off the "X books per week remaining" reminder?
I'm not sure I understand why you'd want this? - the only thing on the page is the graph (or the list), so wouldn't turning it off would give you a blank page? (well, perhaps the language heading, but that's always going to be at the top). At any rate, I'll be monitoring things as we kick off on the 1st - if you have suggestions, comments, notice any problems with the bot, or want any languages added, just e-mail me or PM me here. 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, and to show everyone that you've achieved whatever goal you set for yourself :)
As for graphs/lists, well I mostly meant the opposite, ie showing them at the same time. Also can you maybe add a link to the recommendations thread/wikia category main page? Edited by Serpent on 28 April 2014 at 6:40am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hello,
I'm new to the challenge and new to twitter and honestly I don't watn to go through the 50 pages in this thread. But I have a few questions: First to the twitter bot.. For the language: Is it equal to tweet for example #Spanish and #Es or do you have to do one of that? I just want to register, thats why I ask.. And for the book section: What about reading through websites? Is this possible and how do you count that? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

either of these will do. if you do something wrong the bot will tell you that there's a missing tag or whatever.
Tadoku has these guidelines for net: A newspaper article or webpage counts as 1 page if it has roughly the 2 paragraphs worth of text, give or take a sentence. If the page is unusually long, you may count it as more than a page. Basically, if in doubt, think of it this way: 1 page = 2-3 paragraphs 1 paragraph = 5-8 short sentences OR 2-4 long sentences Note that Tadoku is a separate reading challenge. But these guidelines sure seem good. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I read Cristina's post at the Registration thread and I was wondering: Was there a place where people evaluated their progress and achievements altogether at the previous SC? I'm really curious as to what the SC can do to my stagnated French.

Thanks, Serpent :-) I think this rule is quite plausible to me..
Just another question to book counts: for example I read two books with 120 pages and 130 pages. And I would write to the bot #read [120 page/s] and #read [130 page/s] it would count as 5 books in total right? Or should one write something different, so that every book actually only counts twice? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you tweet the number of pages, the bot will add up everything you do. A book of 120 pages + a book of 130 pages would count as 5 books. So you don't need to tweet every 50 pages you read, you can tweet the whole book once you finish it.
This way shorter books also count. A book of 10 pages would count as 1/5 of a book. Every little bit adds up! 4 persons have voted this message useful |
