The '''Computers Workgroup''' coordinates the [[Citizendium]] articles related to computers and [[computer science]].  You are welcome to participate in improving, or adding to, the [[:Category:Computers_Workgroup|Computers_Workgroup articles]].  To author for this workgroup, please add <nowiki>[[:Category:Computers Authors]]</nowiki> to the bottom of your user page so it appears on the [[:Category:Computers Authors]] page.  Likewise, Editors should have <nowiki>[[:Category:Computers Editors]]</nowiki> at the bottom of their user page so they'll appear on the [[:Category:Computers Editors]] page.


The purpose of the '''Computers Workgroup''' is to coordinate the community of experts and non-experts alike on improving [[Citizendium]] articles related to [[computer]]s and [[computer science]] including all its subfields. All people are invited to help out! Authors interested in this workgroup can add [[:Category:Computers Authors]] to their user page. Editors can also add [[:Category:Computers Editors]] to their user page. Don't forget to look at our [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php/board,62.0.html forum]!
You are welcome to start an article that you believe is missing.  Some authors have made an attempt to catalog articles that are needed; see their list at [[CZ:Core Articles/Applied Arts and Sciences#Computers - Stage 4|Core articles]]. A good thing to do is to link to the future article in existing articles; those red links encourage other authors to write about those topics. ''Please'' subscribe to the workgroup [http://mail.citizendium.org/mailman/listinfo/cz-computers email list]; it is the only way to reach all Computers authors at once. The [[CZ_Talk:Computers_Workgroup|discussion page for this article]] is a good place to raise policy questions.


Any article related to the Computers Workgroup should be placed in the category "<nowiki>[[Category:Computers Workgroup]]</nowiki>".  This means that we think the Computers Workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "<nowiki>[[Category:Computer]]</nowiki>"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management* and the exact use of further categories (if any) has not yet been decided.
== Adding or removing articles ==
To add an existing or new article to the this workgroup, edit the article and add <nowiki>[[Category:Computers Workgroup]]</nowiki> to the bottom of the page.  The article should then appear in one of the article clusters shown in the table above, depending on whether or how it is checklisted on its Talk page.

There probably are a few standards we should agree on, to make the articles within this workgroup more readable. One proposal was for defining a common [[CZ:Computers_Workgroup:Pseudocode|Pseudocode]] to use.

You can list here any Computers article or topic you think is really missing from Citizendium (or not good enough). Of course the best way is to just start it yourself.

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

The Computers Workgroup coordinates the Citizendium articles related to computers and computer science. You are welcome to participate in improving, or adding to, the Computers_Workgroup articles. To author for this workgroup, please add [[:Category:Computers Authors]] to the bottom of your user page so it appears on the Category:Computers Authors page. Likewise, Editors should have [[:Category:Computers Editors]] at the bottom of their user page so they'll appear on the Category:Computers Editors page.

You are welcome to start an article that you believe is missing. Some authors have made an attempt to catalog articles that are needed; see their list at Core articles. A good thing to do is to link to the future article in existing articles; those red links encourage other authors to write about those topics. Please subscribe to the workgroup email list; it is the only way to reach all Computers authors at once. The discussion page for this article is a good place to raise policy questions.

Adding or removing articles

To add an existing or new article to the this workgroup, edit the article and add [[Category:Computers Workgroup]] to the bottom of the page. The article should then appear in one of the article clusters shown in the table above, depending on whether or how it is checklisted on its Talk page.

Recruiting people

We are actively seeking more authors and editors for this workgroup. Here is a potential recruitment letter; please consider inviting to your colleagues to join us.
