All, Our nascent recruitment drive, logged here
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Recruitment has been successful, for the modest amount of work done so far. We've created over 30 new accounts in about 48 hours. That's the result of calls for participation to 7-8 mailing lists, a couple of blog posts, and even some paper (?!) flyers. Activity this week has been remarkably high. We peaked, I believe, at 1,000 changes per day a few days ago, but soon, I am sure that will be a slow day for us. Even today we're jumping, and Thursday is typically pretty slow. Please, let's keep this up! In fact, I am very confident that we can do even better, particularly when we hit some really big lists. Please, post announcements on big discussion lists, or professional announcement venues you contribute to, or faculty lists--whatever you can finagle. If there's any question, of course, ask for moderator/editor permission first. But most people don't mind a call for participation. Please log all your recruitment activity on [[CZ:Recruitment]]. This page is easy to find. Find it via the "Home" link in the left sidebar (http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Home). It's under Initiatives. If you're wondering why we didn't do this before, the explanation is simple. We now have an automated account approval system. Before, it was REALLY HARD for constables to get new people on board. Now, they can do it with a click of a button. Like I say, our constables are now underworked. We need more applications. ;-) I'm going to be plugging two main initiatives for the foreseeable future: Core Articles and Recruitment. Please help as you can with both. (Remember I told you a few weeks ago we'd be busy this month? I was right. Well, we're going to be getting even busier in the next few weeks...) --Larry _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
