[a id]welcome[/a id]Hi there! Welcome to ROM Hacking 101![alink id=short]Shorter version can be found here, though I do suggest reading the thread if you have the time. ~[/alink id]

This is the, ahem, recoming of a program I had previously implemented here in PokeCommunity's Emulation section, if any of you were around in June 2009. That one had minimal effect because of its emphasis on a one-on-one tutoring structure. People on both sides (tutors and non-tutors) were simply not actually meeting up and I had no way of overseeing it and controlling how people were tutored. It was also especially difficult because of the mass amount of people that wanted to be tutored. There was an incredibly long waiting list (especially for scripting!) that simply could not be bypassed. I had to close it eventually simply because I could not handle running a program of that magnitude and actually keep it quality and under control for so long.

We're not going to be following a schedule exactly like that, but something very similar in both format and procedures.

[a id]short[/a id]Shorter Version...it's really not that tl;dr, but oh well.

● a tutoring program, based on the idea of "classes" will be run on IRC● everyone except people designated to supervise/tutor will be muted while the live sessions are going on so that no interruptions/craziness can go on.● while tutors are lecturing/whatever, questions can be sent to specified users (not the tutor that's talking) so that good questions can be selected and answered by the tutor later on.● the live session will only happen once, but a log of the session will be posted on the official thread, and people who missed the session can ask questions pertaining to the session and the things taught there. important: this will not become a mini-simple questions thread. this way, everyone can be taught even if their timezone didn't correspond to when the session was held.● 3-4 topics/tutors will probably be done at one time; I don't expect the live session to go much longer than 2-3 hours, so that way it will be kept tidy and hopefully will make scheduling when the sessions happen easier.● tutors will need to be very accomplished at what they're going to tutor; they should know it inside and out, and be able to answer any questions on the subject. even better, I would like for it to be so that they answer most common questions in their lecture or whatever in the first place.● subjects being taught aren't limited at all; if it's something that can be taught/improved upon, I don't see why it shouldn't be able to be at least suggested for a subject.● disrespectful-ness by anyone during the session will not be tolerated.● approval for tutors and how to determine exactly when the sessions will be haven't been determined yet, although I do have some ideas.● if you visited this thread, please post! I really would like to know what your opinions are and if there is anything I should change as far as how this will work.● an official thread with exactly how it will work will be posted if this thread gains enough support, so please show me your support and your ideas
