After all, we ''already'' have a version-control system on-wiki in the form of edit tracking, right? I'd be perfectly fine with using that instead if it weren't for the permissions issues inherent in the fact that a lot of the ''FreeRIDErs'' universe's stories are hosted on their authors' Shifti user pages, but I think this problem could be solved if we got something like [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlaggedRevs the 'FlaggedRevs' extension] set up here on Shifti and we moved all of the stories into the 'Article' namespace. Then all we'd need is something like one of the page-exporting extensions listed [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Publishing_from_MediaWiki#Extensions_to_help_with_exporting_data here], and then we'd automatically be in business. Or maybe we could still use GitHub, but only as a way to store automated dumps of individual stories to different formats (or maybe even an automated compilation?)

			::::Oh my, I'm so sorry for the late answer. Wasn't watching this page 8 months ago. For what it's worth, I thought of something similar in the past: that it would be fun to have the various stories bundled in a logical series of volumes. Say, "Zharus" would contain Deserted, Merging Traffic and FreeRIDErs; "Integration" would contain the eponymous novel. (Yes I know, it wasn't conceived as a novel, but it came out as one.) "Tales of Alpha Camp" would have Second-Hand Lioness, Wolves in the Fold 1+2 and Young Guns; "Law of the Desert" would group the various Marshal stories plus the Bartertown stories, and so on. Of course, this is just a tentative grouping, but I think it would make sense. And by the way, my own Alpha Camp trilogy is now collected into a nice e-book, complete with cover art, that I might upload somewhere at some point. But if anyone wants to make their own anthology, be my guest. I like having readers.
