Huzzah! I'm quite pleased to announce that the D'niPedia has topped 200 entries into the Archive (yes, the forum says there's 208, but there's eight pinned topics about submitting content, so when you subtract those, you're left with 200 
).
While this is a considerable milestone (and one which I never thought we'd reach) the stuff in there now represents only a small fraction of the information currently out there to be archived. We could most likely easilly get 500 topics out of what we've got in the three games and the three novels. I would love to get this place as fully-stocked as possible before Uru comes out and new people come in with questions about the game's backstory, the characters, etc. But the only way the D'niPedia is ever going to be ready in time is if everybody chips in and submits something to the Archive.
It doesn't have to be a huge thing. You can post journals from the games that you've transcribed, information about one of your favorite secondary characters in the novels, decriptions of a machine somewhere in Riven (the Submarine, for example), or your favorite Age. Just make sure it's factual information. If you're not sure on something, leave it out, or mention that you're unsure about a detail. The beauty of the Archive is that others can help you fill in the blanks you've left. Don't worry about not having an image for something from the games, those can be added later as well. Just submit anything you can. Together, we can really get this Archive rolling!

Dang, Al, you've been a posting machine. You're making me look bad.
I'll have to get on something. I'll post something when I think of something. Yeah, that's deep.
