This is a proposed page where general proposals can be made by the community-at-large under various topics.
Welcome to the Citizendium proposals system
All Citizens may submit proposals here. This is a single, central system for all new proposals about the Citizendium. If you submit a proposal here, you can be sure that the community will respond; your ideas will not be simply lost and forgotten.
The system is simple. You supply some basic information about your proposal below, in what we call a proposal "record." If the record is in order, the Proposal Manager (or one of his/her minions) will move the record to a "subpage" of this page, depending on what body makes the decision about it. For example, proposals for the Editorial Council will go on the CZ:Proposals/Editorial Council page.
If a proposal is accepted and acted on, the proposal record should be deposited in [[CZ:Proposals/GROUP/Declined]], where the GROUP is the decisionmaking body. If rejected, the record of the proposal should be deposited in [[CZ:Proposals/GROUP/Finished]]. (Links to these pages can be found below.)
Each proposal must have a "driver," that is, someone who ensures that the proposal moves forward to a decision and then, possibly, action. The driver must specify and regularly update two pieces of information on the proposal record: the next step, and the date by which the next step needs to be performed. If a proposal loses its driver, it is moved to a page listing "stalled" proposals ([[CZ:Proposals/GROUP/Stalled]]).
While the system is simple, the fully detailed rules that govern the system are somewhat involved. You can see CZ:Proposals/Policy if you're interested, but you shouldn't have to know those rules in order to make and drive an proposal. If you have a question, then please contact _________________, the Proposals Manager. You can also post a question on the talk page, which the Proposals Manager and others will monitor.
How to make a proposal
To make a proposal, simply give us N pieces of information:
- Brief descriptive title
- Summary of proposal (limited to 100 words)
Initial proposals (add yours here)
Proposal Queue
See CZ:Proposals/Queue to see current suggested proposals, provided this page becomes official.
Adopted Proposals
See CZ:Proposals/Adopted proposals for proposals that have been accepted, provided this initiative is adopted.
Rejected Proposals
All rejected proposals will be moved to CZ:Proposals/Rejected proposals. Inappropriate proposals will be outright deleted and not moved to this page. See CZ:Proposals/Guidelines for further clarification.
