 I'm afraid I have bad news for some of you. The DB team decided that we won't release the PCMdaily Realname DB for PCM 2014. There are a couple of reasons for this.
At this point, it seems too late to release a PCMdaily DB anyway, given that a lot of realname DBs are already out, and even some relatively big DBs were released already.
But that is not the main reason. The main reason is that we've had quite some personnel changes. Due to that, we are lacking a clear leader at the moment. This results in a lot of trouble regarding the DB work.
Due to the lack of a leader, there was some trouble in the communication too, which (only partly) expains why there was a lack of news about the PCMdaily releases. We apologise for this.
Releasing a PCMdaily Realname DB for PCM 14 is no option for us now. We are intending to focus on the PCMdaily Expansion Pack for PCM 14 now, and we are still considering bringing out a (compact) 2014 DB V2 for PCM 13 too. However, without a leader, we have no intentions to release a database, for now.
A new leader
As mentioned, we're looking for a good leader now. So any user who feels like helping out with this is welcome to contact one of the members of the PCMdaily DB team. For now, it's best to contact me(Jesleyh), but given that I won't be present here after 10 July, it's fine to contact someone else in the DB team group too, preferably admirschleck or SportingNonsense.
We obviously prefer someone with experience regarding DB work and big databases, but every really keen member that wants of offer his help is appreciated.
At this point, a lot of options are open for us. We might even be interested in a collaboration with another database (team), depending on the situation.
There is already a possible leader at the moment, but we want to see all our options. Obviously there are no guarentees if you apply, but it will certainly be appreciated!
Beside a leader, it's obviously always welcome to offer your help. You can join the database team any day. The bigger team we have, the better database we can pull off, obviously.
So if you're keen and you think you're ''good enough'' to join the DB team, be it as leader or not, don't hestitate to contact us! |
