== What's all this? ==
+
You are viewing the soft-launch of the new RaysBB, a would-be catalog of all sorts of information related to the Tampa Bay Rays organization into a single, more-convenient location.  We aim to provide a suitable location for bringing together a lot of information that is scattered, unorganized or inconvenient.
+
 
+
=== I wanna help ===
+
Let me know with an email to admin at raysbb dot com. 
+
 
+
The help of anyone familiar with the (Devil) Rays organization, has experience with the MediaWiki platform, a decent eye for editing and/or data entry is welcome.  If you're OK putting together templates and navigation schemes, that's even more awesome.  If you happen to have a lot of info on a minor league affiliate or just happen to love one particular obscure player or can expound at-length on the subtle uniform differences between the 2002 and 2003 Devil Rays seasons, we'll find a place for it.
+
 
+
=== What this is not ===
+
* A locker room.
+
* A free-for all.
+
* A replacement for [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], [http://www.baseball-reference.com Baseball-Reference], or the [http://draysbay.com/ myriad] of [http://forums.theraysrepublic.com/ Rays-related fora] and [http://www.raysprospects.com/ blogs].
+
 
+
=== Future hopes and expectations ===
+
* An entry on every player to play in a game for a Rays or Rays-affiliated team (Not a novel or anything; at least an acknowledgement of where they played and when in the organization).
+
* Box scores for all games possible (This is no problem for the big league team, thanks to awesome resources like [http://www.retrosheet.org/ RetroSheet], but it becomes more difficult the lower in the minors and further back you go).
+
* Researched information that covers a wide range of topics related to Tampa Bay's Major League Baseball franchise.

This is a game to be savored, not gulped. There's time to discuss everything between pitches or between innings. - Bill Veeck
