All, The date of the pilot project launch will depend on the hosting company...and which is still undetermined, but *I hope* next week.
In order to prepare for this launch, anyway, I figure my top priority is finally to buckle down and write a master "Citizendium Policy" document. It will elaborate what is now available on citizendium.org. It will also bring together many threads from our discussions of the last few weeks and finally, and in one place, articulate a lot of thoughts of my own that have come out only vaguely here and there. It will be the starting place for the first invitees to the pilot project. I'll post it here on citizendium-l when it's in a more mature state, sometime next week. In the meantime, if you want, you could give me advice and pointers, :-) and a good place to do that would be here: http://textop.org/smf/index.php?topic=100.0 By the way, I'd also like to point to a wiki page Jason Sanford has started, here: http://www.textop.org/wiki/index.php?title=Proposed_Articles_for_Citizendium _Pilot_Project It is "a proposed list of articles on basic subjects for Citizendium's pilot project." Peter Blake has also suggested: "Please place your username (e.g. Peter Blake) against the topics that you judge yourself to have expertise in and in which you would be willing to help prototype an article. If you judge yourself an expert in an entire category or sub-category, place your username against the relevant heading." Sounds good to me. (The links you see on that page are to Textop stuff, by the way...lots of quotes from Hobbes. ;-) ) If it turns out that the hosting service can't have the server up next week, then by golly we'll just use the Textop wiki to get started. I don't want to make you wait that long. --Larry _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
