Dear List, Will you help create a wikipedia entry for Lively? Lively scratch page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Editor142/Lively>on Wikipedia. I'll be posting this entry live within 7 days even if it ends up sliding down the wall. ;-)
Some tasks: - find an existing wikipedia article of some other project that we might be able to use for comparison of formatting, table of contents, etc. - select an image to use for the sidebar in the article (Dan's engine, or screenshot of the examples page, or other...) - upload the image to wikipedia legally without the editing community wigging out - review/enhance/decide the table of contents - continue to flesh out and add content to the article - near any hyperlinks to Lively pages in the article or at the end, make it clear which browsers work best or are supported for a good experience (Dan mentions unsupported browser below) - Copy the article out to wikipedia from its current scratch page (feel free to do that at any time; just be ready the hammer to come down) ;-) Kidding. - Point to the article from other existing listing and category pages in wikipedia: JavaScript libraries, web frameworks, etc. Please take a step: upload and include an image - correct or adds links at the bottom or inline - write a new section - push it out - etc. Lively scratch page <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Editor142/Lively> on Wikipedia.
