Core Articles--time to extend workgroup priorities and classification
Good day to all,
You may have missed this but Larry Sanger is asking that we establish a list of core articles. The workgroup page does in fact have a outline form of this list and we can go from there. We can assign the points--it looks like we'll need more than five first priorities and assign points from there on. Here is his missive:
All,
Have you ever thought that we don't have enough articles about basic,
core topics? Yes, we have no [[banana]]s.
That's why we have a shiny new Core Articles initiative. Please help
with this. Many of us think it is a top priority for the project.
We're now starting to list our top 99 priorities in each workgroup (a
few workgroups are allotted double that). Lists are already being
developed for Biology, Earth Sciences, Anthropology, Economics, and
Architecture. The Biology and Anthropology Workgroups are listing their
priorities in their workgroup space, but this is not strictly necessary.
You don't have to be an editor to work on these article lists. So
please dive in! Editors are needed to designate which articles will
receive which points--unless no active editor in a workgroup can be
found after some reasonable time. (Each workgroup may award 10 points
for the five most important articles in the group, 5 points for the ten
next most important, and 2 points for the 14 next most important.)
Once we've got a full complement of articles listed in an area, and the
articles are assigned points, people can start earning those points
(which are redeemable for bragging rights) by starting articles of at
least 250 words on those topics.
By the way, please do use the various CZ workgroup mailing lists, here
