How to start a Workgroup Week for your workgroup: instructions for using this template

Would you like to see a Workgroup Week started for your workgroup? You can help organize it. You don't have to do all the work yourself, though. These instructions will show you how to rope in other people to help, and generally get the ball rolling.

  • Please use the following as a template for planning a Workgroup Week in your own beloved workgroup. It is a sign-up page for people organizing your Workgroup Week.
  • For uniformity, copy the following template to [[CZ:XYZ Workgroup/Workgroup Week]]; for example, for the Philosophy Workgroup, it would go on CZ:Philosophy Workgroup/Workgroup Week.
  • The page should then be linked from the workgroup page ([[CZ:XYZ Workgroup]]; for instance, CZ:Philosophy Workgroup) as well as CZ:Workgroup Weeks.
  • Add your name to the signup list; volunteer to do something.
  • Then, announce the new page on Citizendium-L, Citizendium-Editors (or e-mail a copy to an editor for posting, or to sanger@citizendium.org and Larry will post it there), as well as your workgroup's mailing list.
  • The essential first step is to locate an editor in the workgroup who will agree to serve as Workgroup Week Coordinator. There will be a fair bit of work for this person when the Workgroup Week rolls around. If you are an editor, you can volunteer to do this. See this bit for more info.

Introduction to the XYZ Week!

We are planning a big "online convention" of x-ologists here on the Citizendium. Leading up to this week, we will be doing quite a bit of recruitment (on XYZ mailing lists, departments, and so forth). We'll try to tap into many networks so that there is general awareness both of the Citizendium and of this special week. Consider it a major kick-off for the XYZ Workgroup.

Dates: not yet set.

XYZ Week Coordinator(s): no volunteer yet

Any editor in the XYZ Workgroup may volunteer; we can have up to two coordinators, and two is better if any one coordinator is relatively short on time.
