I don't think there's a room in my house that's big enough to lay it all out on the floor in a circular pattern, not without clearing the furniture from the middle of my living room. :)

Unfortunately, that gallery is also a few years old. I've sold off a few pieces since then, and added a LOT more to it.

Man, still thinking about that room... or a room in general. I have so much stuff now, that it really needs a "museum room" in my house.

It all depends on Nathan's schedule. myArmoury used to be updated every week with new featured articles and reviews. That lasted for a while, but it became too hard for our small team to keep that up at that rate, we eventually revised this to be every other week. After a few years of that, all of us got busier, particularly Nathan. We have a lot of articles and reviews that are done and awaiting publication, but Nathan's been so busy over the past two years or so that he can only update it every once and awhile. I suspect things will stay that way unless if he gets a different job.

Post by: Sir Edward on 2009-05-22, 16:33:30: Yeah, I know how busy schedules can really get in the way. I was under the impression though that the personal collections were a little more autonomous. If they're not, I think that would be a great new feature. Since the site is called "myArmoury", it would be great if it were set up to let people publish their own collections, and then the site could generate all sorts of interesting statistics about ownership distribution and the like.

I'm wondering how well it would work also if Nathan could delegate some of these publishing roles a bit more. I know it's hard to do, since the site needs to be altered to permit admin rights to features that so far might not even have a web interface. There's also a trust issue (believe me, I understand this one, being a server admin).
