mm, for projects, it's more along the lines of whether we have a translator who wants to do it or not. Not so much whether our editors are willing to do it.

Cleaners, hate to say it, are easy to find. People who know other languages, and are willing to translate are rare. Especially those who are enthusiastic about the projects they want to do.

As for the fans/bloggers... we haven't had many stick around to be honest. They come and go every week or so. Plus we don't actually get to know them well enough to hold their opinions in high regard.
Hopefully that will change when we move to our new site. lol.

i dont know the things in deep that how the community of scanlators works
but if its only about the interest of the translator and not about the profit and loss or the about professionalism(making a living) then it cant be argued

as for the fans/blogger i clearly used the term "old ones" that excluded the ones u mentioned above.

well we ppl(fans/bloggers) cant force any one to work especially if the person doesn't feels like doing it ,we can only suggest what we like (and i was suggesting only as this forum goes by)

and i think so how you guys do the thing(selecting the projects) is the best way after all, by translating the manga which the translator likes that way he will at least be able to enjoy his work

but still you guys are cool (not slaves) who provide is with scan so we are THANKFUL
thanx for the reply

(apologizing if i sounded rude in any way)

stumbled across another interesting manga,Btooom, this one really looks interesting , promising and fun and i hope it could be considered seriously by XscansX
none of the chapter scanlated by any team so no conflicts
manga looks like cage of eden type

Genre: Action Mature Psychological Sci-fi Seinen

http://rawmanga1st.blogspot.com/2011/07/btooom.html




i really hope it gets selected

finished reading volume 1. Good stuff, very good, especially i'm into survival stuff like Battle Royale and Suicide Island...i'm checking out if we have available editors then.

If it is like Cage of Eden, I second the aku720's thought.

even if the project cant be started right away alteast we should declare it as our future project officially so that no one takes it
we can start when there is sufficient staff

Zero In. That's a good book

What're the criteria for being an editor?

1. Being familiar with photoshop CS3 or above.
(Knowing how to use the: Brush tool, Clone tool, Pen tool, Marquee tool, Ruler Tool, Crop tool, and image adjustments. Probably some more crap that I forgot.)
2. Being able to clean text from bubbles.
3. Being able to remove text from on top of pictures and redraw what should have been behind it.
4. Being able to "Level" the page so that the Blacks are completely black, and whites are completely white.
5. Being able to do the job repetitively for tons of pages in a reasonable amount of time.

mm, basically get photoshop and you can learn the rest.

So, is that like what a cleaner does? hmmmm.....I might want to consider doing this. Not right now, but later on. How long does it take on average to learn this stuff to be competent in it?

Maybe City of Darkness ?

I don´t know how is the story......but it looks interesting but at first place please scanlate Btooom i think the story is much better than City of Darkness
and the art looks also very cool and interesting all of us would be very happy if you can scanlate it :)

gstrakyags, what's your favorite manga?

I could not find any information about City of Darkness on manga updates. The poster does look good though.

Love so Life at the moment. If its an older series, probably Inuyasha and Maison Ikkoku before that. I'm not as crazy as Weaper haha, but I do love me some SKR too!

SKR ? someone said SKR ?!?

Well on topic with the thread, I recommend to pick up Rakia by Boichi (). It's 5 volume and completed.
I'll have the French raws in early 2012, I can do from editing (clean+TS) to TL.
If you want so pic of it, look here : http://sunkenrock.com/site/Art/Pages/Rakia.html
