Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started for other helpful introductory pages. It is essential for you as an editor to join the Citizendium-Editors (broadcast) mailing list in order to stay abreast of editor-related issues, as well as the mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon. David E.

LAMP sheds much light

As a Computers Workgroup editor, let me thank you -- one of the many things we've needed.

I'm slightly inspired to risk linking the "top" of LAMP to web services, and even cloud computing, although I'm principally a network and security person. My applications work tends to be in medical and military, which I like to describe as life-critical and death-critical. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:05, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey Howard, thought I'd get my feet wet with some simple technologies, glad you like it so far. Can definitely see the appeal of linking web services for people learning about networking, though maybe it could be in a spot that's closer to the source like web server? Then again, more links the better eh? Cloud computing is definitely a good idea though, maybe in a section about general uses for private and corporate; I'll work on it some more. I'm definitely one of those breach editors where my expertise comes from corporate, the money-critical. I can see what a busy bee you've been around here so I imagine we'll be working together a lot. I look forward to it! Lance Knifehand 21:00, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Block cipher

One of your goals is to "Get more Computer articles through the approval process". Care to comment on this one, currently up for approval? Almost everything it links to needs comment as well. Sandy Harris 10:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing! Looks like block cipher is just a day away from being approved, so I'll take a look at the pages it links to first and leave my comments. Lance Knifehand 19:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Security subgroup

Please have a look at the subgroup page. Consider adding articles and adding yourself as a member. Also, consider whether any are near approval, make suggestions for improvement or nominate some as appropriate. Sandy Harris 06:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Returning to Citizendium: an update on the project and how to get involved

Hello - some time ago you became part of the Citizendium project, but we haven't seen you around for a while. Perhaps you'd like to update your public biography or check on the progress of any pages you've edited so far.

Citizendium now has over 16,000 articles, with more than 150 approved by specialist Editors such as yourself, but our contributor numbers require a boost. We have an initiative called 'Eduzendium' that brings in students enrolled on university courses to write articles for credit, but we still need more Editors across the community to write, discuss and approve material. There are some developed Computers articles that could be improved and approved, and some high-priority Applied Sciences articles that we don't have yet. You can also create new articles via this guide, and contribute to some Computers pages that have been recently edited - or to any others on Citizendium, since you're a general Author as well as a specialist Editor. You may like to contribute to discussions in the forums, and might consider running for an elected position on the Management and Editorial Councils that oversee the project.

If you have any questions, let me know via my Talk page or by leaving a message below this one. Thank you for signing up and reading this update; I hope that you will look in on our community soon. John Stephenson 12:53, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
