Some time back, several people asked about how the rosters were made. I said I would try to get a post up concerning some of the details. Here it is.
A look inside the web based OOTP Roster Editor
In June 2008, battists laid down the mission for the creation of a OOTP Roster Editor. It had two key points.
1. Define and build a set of collaborative roster editing tools for future use
2. Define a process and system for consistent ratings for players in a collaborative environment
On that note, we started to brainstorm. Some rather detailed suggestions were offered, and they went on for pages. Battists said that he had to hit page down 7 times on one of my posts. The suggestions were offered for days. Lots of people added their thoughts.
The general concept was turned over to OOTP Developments. The executive summary was "Take the roster editor in OOTP and make it a web application."
They built it.
Here is a look at the major league roster. The last names are hyperlinks to the individual pages.
An individual page is included, too.
Third is a change log. Everything is recorded so it could be reviewed. The yellow highlight is generated by the web page to quickly show where changes were made. I had to cut 90% of the info off of my screen shot to make it fit.
