Dear authors and editors, The following is something *everybody* has to pitch in on. Only with a very broad array of collaborators do we have a chance of making a *complete* list of core articles.
Let's finish listing the top priority articles in each area on [[CZ:Core Articles]]. This is pressing, because soon, we're going to invite people to join the project for the specific purpose of contributing articles listed there. So our list has to be good! It's coming along, but it's still pretty far from finished. I want to bring all sections to Stage 5 (all topics listed, points assigned and confirmed). Here is how to help: STEP 1: go to http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Core_Articles and work on the list(s) in your area(s), until you've got an excellent list of 99 topics, and points are ready to be assigned. Reading the instructions, eventually, is probably going to be necessary. :-) I just finished the philosophy section. You could take that as an example. http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Core_Articles#Philosophy_-_Stage_4 Earth Sciences is another good example. EDITORS: STEP 2 FOR EDITORS: assign points per the instructions ("Attaching points to topics"), and announce your work on the workgroup mailing list, a link to which you can find here: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Workgroups (you'll have to subscribe--you should be subscribed already). Negotiate with others, but if you're the only editor, it's up to you. AUTHORS: STEP 2 FOR AUTHORS: on your workgroup mailing list, ask for editors and others to help look over the work, and to assign points, a link to which you can find here: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Workgroups (you'll have to subscribe). Especially if after a few days no editor has replied, then take charge--go ahead and assign points yourself. STEP 3 (for both): leave a message on my user talk page (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User_talk:Larry_Sanger) saying "check the X Workgroup topic list, please." I'll make sure that the list follows the rules. If it annoys you that the editor-in-chief is checking off lists, then why don't you volunteer for the job (please)? :-) STEP 4: I make your workgroup's topic list "Stage 5," and we're done (for now)!
