If this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it. Since it is about World News I figured this is the place.

I still would like to make a Caldari PF compendium but at the moment I do not have the time to collect all of the Caldari related World News articles. So I would like to pay someone ISK to go through the World News and compile a list of all the direct URL's to any World News article that mentions anything Caldari so I can create an archive of them. A Caldari planet, a Caldari person, a Caldari corporation or ship - anything that directly references something Caldari.

I realize most people on this site are probably sufficiently supplied with ISK, but if anyone wants to make an extra billion this is a nice way to do it.

I'm not sure if anyone has time for that.

Or Ctrl + For "Caldari" on the main World News page or failing  that on each article quickly.

There are many that would reference something related to Caldari without using the word 'Caldari.' Someone would have to be more thorough.

Yes, I am aware it would be time-consuming. Hence payment. I realize it is a longshot, but if there is any poor person out there I can utilize I am going to take it. Otherwise I will not be able to get the compendium finished until late next year, most likely.

Even if you did it, it wouldn't include everything, as the old race-specific articles are no longer available on the website.

Yes, that is true. There are enough veterans still able to be contacted that I am hoping I can get a copy of most material.

From what I understand (I may very well be wrong here thought.)The new core Literature on Eve's websites use Tags. Race specific ones included. So while it may not catch everything. I think it would definitely catch a solid proportion.

Indeed, the new format is by and large more helpful. I have plenty of material for the compendium, I am just trying to be thorough.

I guess i am confused.

This is what I found:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/

the archives have a lot of articles.  Some do seem to be race specific.
for example in http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/archive/2003/
it lists 62 articles including:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/emperor-doriam-plans-to-visit-every-amarr-planet/

is there additional stuff that is missing?
Just trying to figure out the issue as I like ferreting things out  :)
it is clear there's no decent way to search it :(

What I was referring to was not categories of news articles but any article that even mentioned something Caldari. So for example, if there is an article that is about a Gallente figure meeting with a Minnie figure and there is a sentence in there that says "After his recent trip to meet with the CEO of Ishukone, so and so has embarked on a trip to . . ." that would qualify as mentioning something Caldari and I would want it in my collection. That is the level of detail I am aiming for.

You also had the summary of events by year based on YC. They were quite handy, even if not the whole pieces of news themselves. They give a good and solid timeframe and can certainly help find news by just reading what happens at any time period.

I am thinking by Christmas. I am hoping to get the actual assembly of the compendium well underway by then.
