A Citizens' Compendium can get off the ground only if there are many "citizens" at work on it--working not only on articles, but also on other essential tasks. This page is a summary of outstanding tasks you can help with, and has links to more information.

Folks, can you please help fill this out? This is just a start. A lot of the items below don't need to be on this list. The focus of this list should be a list of projects that people can help with. Recruitment, design, software, policy drafting and discussion--that's a start. --Larry Sanger 13:53, 28 November 2006 (CST)


TECHNOLOGY

  • Hardware - We badly need donations of money and hardware. We need a serious database server, which is not cheap. We're looking for SCSI drives and some sort of RAID solution (5 or 10).
  • Software - Please sign up at the development site and join the "Citizendium Tools mailing list". Bugs can also go to this address (but not to both places)
  • Website and Design
