Quark's
Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but one thing that could be helpful is some sort of Where to Start guide for Star Trek books. I've been meaning start reading some but with the amount of Treklit that's out there it could be nice to have some sort of page with some good places to start/suggestions.
Love this idea
There are more production folks on Mastdon

Nice find, do you want a wiki account with editing permissions?
Not sure I have much more to add at present.
I do have a related profile on Mastodon however and follow Trek folks who are active there.
So, if you’d like I could keep filling in for that platform as others join or get active.
I’d be willing to offer my services to develop a LCARS inspired theme. Admittedly, my eyes are more on the Lemmy side than the Wiki side, but I’m not picky.
@Wooster That sounds like an amazing idea! Since it runs on bookstack i would have to learn how to theme it but i would love to help out.
Ditto, to be honest. My background is primarily in theming for PhpBB, Drupal, and Wordpress to an extent. Bookstack is entirely new to me, and the tactics it implements are surprisingly streamlined if, not what I’m specifically used to.
LCARS also presents unique challenges since practically everything can be done in CSS (which presumably makes it a perfect match for bookstack) but you kinda have to trick CSS into doing what you want with LCARS more creative aspects.
But, assuming we get approval, I’d enjoy collaborating. I’ve always done theming solo, so it’d be a new experience.
I'm into this idea! What would you guys need from us? I've opened registration for the wiki so you can make editor accounts, but the theming seems to be largely on the backend.
We’ll need access to the style sheets, bare minimum. (Some robust systems grant this via admin panel, but normally it’s done via file system/template files.) So SFTP access would be appreciated. Also, do you know if the wiki/Lemmy has a concept of restricting theme use by role?
This is awesome!
Thanks again for all your hard work!
There is nothing up for Risa yet, I'd like to volunteer to fill that page. I'll fill it up soooo good. What's a wiki?
I changed the wiki registration to open so please go ahead and do whatever (I will regret this won't I?)
