Pathfinder at Work: The Totemic Whiteboard


Pathfinder.com's all-important "whiteboards" were essential for coordinating the site's technology projects. If you rated at all, you had a whiteboard in your office, and if you didn't, there was one for you in every conference room on the 37th Floor of the Time-Life Building. Here we see a snapshot of such a whiteboard from 1996. The project being sketched appears to be related to the development of an online game, perhaps coded in Pathfinder.com's propriatary "GDmL" (Game Description Markup Language).
