Russell, I'm happy to report that all of the problems you've identified are either already fixed or are easily fixed.

So I'll encourage people to add those categories to their user pages. Personnel Admins, may I ask you (if you're reading) please to add those category tags to peoples' pages? I mean these: [[Category:CZ Authors]] [[Category:CZ Editors]] [[Category:CZ Constables]] (only five of these, I think) Later we'll add categories such as "CZ Editors - Biology". > I have no idea who else is working on the wiki, no quick way > of watching their progress in a way that I might be able to > see where I could be of any assistance.

Well then, you need to learn the intimate joys of the Recent Changes page. http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges That's how to keep up with what's been going on. Right now, just as in the early days of Wikipedia, there are few enough edits per day that you can actually scan through everything that's happened on the wiki. Since we've started letting in more and more people, it looks like this is going to change soon, however. Then you'll have to go to other special pages, that let you view "Related changes" (look for that link on the left) and "my watchlist" and "my contributions" (see upper right). It is also possible to view just the changes made to just the "CZ Live" articles: http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=C ategory%3ACZ_Live May I remind everyone to add "[[Category:CZ Live]]" to the bottom of all articles to which they make any significant edits. > 2) It would be great also to have a page within the wiki for > tech issues.

It's a bit of trouble to figure out, but you can view bug reports and such at http://forge.citizendium.org/ . It's been quite active. Click on the "Caesarwiki project" link (small type). Then click the "Reporting" tab at the top, then click "Bugs" on the right. The next bit seems to be itself a bug...but you have to click the "Bugs" link *again* here near the top: Home > Projects > CaesarWiki > Tracker > Bugs That will get you to the bug reports page. The direct URL is: http://forge.citizendium.org/gf/project/caesarwiki/tracker/?action=TrackerIt emBrowse&tracker_id=17 Maybe I myself need a tutorial... --Larry _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
