Summary
Part of what is keeping our "elitism shield" up is that many (if not all) of the community pages are overly complex. A campaign to heavily review and edit the pages will give us leaner, easy-to-comprehend documentation and improve our external appearance.
Process
- A well-rounded discussion
- Aggregated Review of the community pages
- The review should include opinions and analyses from everyone who wishes to voice their concerns
- A focused effort on slimming up the documentation ensuring that their meaning is not lost
Discussion
I have two reactions to this. (1) The summary and process above don't constitute a complete proposal. Everyone recognizes the need to improve our community pages. I plug away regularly at them, and I am constantly begging people to help with them. The problem, quite obviously, is not that we needed a "proposal" to tell us we need to improve our community pages. The problem is how to motivate people to actually work on them. If you had a proposal to address that effectively, well, that would be interesting. (2) The fact that there is no driver for your proposal I take as further evidence that this is a problem. --Larry Sanger 20:49, 12 February 2008 (CST)
Let's go straight to very specific proposals. e.g.
1) To replace CZ: Article Mechanics with CZ:Article_Mechanics/Draft_rewrite.
2. To replace CZ:Neutrality Policy with CZ:Neutrality process new draft
How do we decide to do this or not? What exactly is the mechanism. Gareth Leng 04:00, 13 February 2008 (CST)
