A Citizens' Compendium can get off the ground only if there are many "citizens" at work on it--working not only on articles, but also on other essential tasks. This page is a summary of outstanding tasks you can help with, and has links to more information.


  1. TECHNOLOGY
   * Hardware - We badly need donations of money and hardware. 
We need a serious database server, which is not cheap.  We're looking for SCSI drives and some sort of RAID solution (5 or 10).
   * Software - Please sign up at the development site and join the "Citizendium Tools mailing list".  
Bugs can also go to this address (but not to both places)
   * Website and Design
  1. CONTENT
   * Policy Documents - We need to flesh out the policy pages listed Citizendium_Pilot:Policy_Outline here.  Most of them 
don't exist yet.  Try to incorporate information from that page, and the main Citizendium site as well 
as forum/list discussion.  If you create a page, let everyone know on the forum so they can help.
   * Help Documents - we need to port help pages from Wikipedia and Wikimedia and adjust them to Citizendium Policies
   * Website and Design
   * Multimedia
   * Deletion?
   * Interview Program
  1. COMMUNITY
   * Editor Policies and Editorial Workgroups
   * Recruitment
   * Constable Issues
   * Copyeditors
   * Advisory Board Construction
   * Internationalization
   * Consolidation of Conversation

   * Multimedia
   * Set up 501(c)(3)?
   * Tides Foundation opportunity?
   * License?
   * Approval Process Liability
  1. COLLABORATION
   * Sponsorship
   * Partnerships and Donations?
