Brainstorming EK historic event listing
One of the projects on my list is to create an on-line listing/database of all of the events ever held in the East Kingdom. The West Kingdom has something similar at: http://history.westkingdom.org/ I've not looked to see what other kingdoms have yet (probably should).
The minimal information I feel is required:
- Event Name
- Date
- Hosting Group
- Location (city, state)
Other information that might be nice to have:
- Location (site name)
Mostly useful for site research and to answer the occasional "what site was that?" question.
- RP?
Maybe with a link to the court report on the OP site.
- Autocrat
Only slightly useful on its own. More useful if it is a part of a larger database of people.
- Costs
Might be fun to see how prices have changed over the years, but with the different types, sizes and kinds of events, I'm not sure how useful it would be.
- Full announcement
The West has many of these in their listing. These would be the hardest to enter, but possibly the most useful things from a history/research stand point.

complexated suggested that once it is decided what will be in the listing, that I see if I can get hooked into the EK website's event system so that the information I want is sent right to me when events are added or updated. I'll be looking into this.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about the what would and would not be useful to include?
