These are proposals that are being managed on an ad hoc basis by selected individuals.
Simplify Core Articles Initiative
Summary: The Core Articles initiative has not exactly been a screaming success; it is not achieving its primary aim of getting articles started about the most important 4,000 topics in our ~40 workgroup areas. Therefore, I propose that it be greatly simplified--even "stripped down"--in a way designed to motivate people to contribute to the effort.

Unified Feature-Rich Workgroup page design template
Summary: Many workgroups are highly developed; some are marginally developed, and others are not developed. It could be beneficial to have a single flexible template that would be easy to implement for all workgroup home pages.

| Notes: What should we do about listing, and/or cataloging, and/or indexing the recipes that I am beginning to put into various preexisting articles. Various people discussed this in the talk page of Bolognese sauce but nothing concrete appears to have come of that discussion. Even without any definitive policy being put into place in the near future, I will continue to add recipes to various articles. I imagine that it will not be difficult to catalog, or subpage them, or whatever, when the time comes. Hayford Peirce

Naming Conventions for Biographies
Summary: to adopt conventions for the naming of articles about people, living and dead. The basic principle proposed is: In general, an article about a person ought to live at the name at which the person is best-known to educated English-speaking people, with redirects from all common alternates. Significant levels of detail are offered.

Romanization
Summary: Create a page called CZ:Romanization to deal with issues of how to romanize foreign words, placenames etc. that are normally written in other scripts, with subpages for individual languages, e.g. CZ:Romanization/Japanese. These pages would initially be for interested parties to discuss which romanization systems to adopt, eventually leading to official guidelines.

Next step: Decision by the Editorial Council

| Driver: John Stephenson |
To be done by: Friday May 29, 2008
|
| Notes: I foresee a series of rows about this in the future because, for example, Japanese words can be rendered in the Latin alphabet in several different ways even within the same system, and there is more than one romanization system in use anyway.
