I have an idea: arhive the Penguin Times. This would:

• link to the SWF of the paper
• Have the full text and images of articles, and secrets, in article form
• include trivia, notes, etc.

What do you think? Discussion below. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 22:34, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify - WE ARE NOT USING IMAGEMAPS OR SCREENSHOTS. We are transcribing the text from the paper - with only images. Secrets can be put in a box, and other things might warrant a screenshot, but we aren't making the project use just those. If the users want a picture of a certain page, they can use the SWF link and PrintScreen it. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 12:23, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

I am good in swf. files and i can decompile them, so i can take snap from the picture itself, without cropping.♫Ellyppi♫ ^{Talk 2 me! | My edits! | Check out my blog!} 10:33, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

• Great idea, but there is one problem that I would like to point out: our users are too lazy.. only 3 people will work on it, and it would never get done.. heh.. --seahorseruler |Talk (EditCount) Yoshi! 21:21, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes, maybe 3. But so far, at least 2. Zapwire and I. I think Ellyppi would as well. And, Brook MIGHT. So, that's more than you said. --Will k!!! ^{Hate me? Love me? Tell me here! | Read mah blog! | Look at what I've done! | My...DUH DUH DUH!!!!...Editcount!} 23:00, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
