This is a special talk page. I've long been of the opinion that ''good ideas'' (along with the hard work to put them into effect) are the ''sine qua non'' of a successful project. Got an idea for CZ? Please add it to this page. I might say one of at least three things: (1) thanks, interesting, maybe we'll get to that some day; (2) this is something we could do anytime, but requires discussion; (3) I think it's a bad idea. | This is a special talk page.

:Something related here: I sit on the honors program advisory committee at the community college I work at. I can envision an option for a student's honors project in a course be that they write a solid article, say for an American history course, on [[Jane Addams]] or [[Frederick Douglass]], etc. The article would have to be closed to editing by anyone except the student, and only editors in the subject matter would be able to post on talk pages to give "gentle expert guidance". If a policy were set, I'd consider proposing it to the committee as an option for students and then working out a memorandum of understanding. —[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] [[User talk:Stephen Ewen|(Talk)]] 00:09, 11 August 2007 (CDT) | :Something related here: I sit on the honors program advisory committee at the community college I work at.

== Homemade copyright == | |||
Dr. Sanger; | |||
I think that Citizendium should go for a homemade copycenterish license. Due to the commercial aspects of what is being considered, it may be completely incompatible with both CC by SA and the GFDL. Furthermore, a copycenter license would make our content more free as opposed to locked for life in the license. A draft of what I am proposing is attached below. | |||
CITIZENDIUM COPYRIGHT POLICY(Proposed) | |||
Citizendium encourages the reuse of its material as set forth below. If your intended use may violate a provision, please contact the General Counsel! | |||
1. Citizendium grants a non-exclusive license to you to use any of the content (other than images) on this site with attribution for non commercial and small scale commercial purposes without charge. This license is revocable only in very rare instances of self-defense, such as protecting continued use by Citizendium editors or other licensees, enforcement of other provisions of this license ,or stopping unauthorized copying or mirroring of entire parts of this site. | |||
2. Large scale commercial copying of any portion of this site is prohibited without authorization of the General Counsel through entrance into a Partnership Agreement and payment of compensation as set by the aforementioned Agreement. | |||
3. By contributing information to Citizendium, you irrevocably consent to the display, copying, reuse or editing of your information, edits and entries, with or without attribution. | |||
4. Content is copyrighted under the laws of the United States of America, as such you agree to be bound by applicable US laws and to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, sitting in the City of San Francisco, State of California. | |||
5. You agree to waive and indemnify this and all affiliated sponsors, editors, users, or sites from claims for liability resulting from use, by you, of the content contained herein. | |||
6. This is a binding legal document! By using this site you agree to be bound by it. Citizendium may clarify and amend its copyright from time to time by updating this document here. | |||

Respectfully; | |||

== Categories == | |||
Might i suggest a 3 level category system? Where we have a category label for: | |||
:1)Workgroups and there respective (future) subgroups. | |||
:2)Citizendium: Checklists, disambiguates and topic informant articles. | |||
:3)Regional and language specific labels. Maybe ideological specific labels | |||
::So that we make it possible to organise an articles by the importance they hold to someone of a certain ethnic group or language family. For example there are several articles about Dutch culture and customs on citizendium; and there are several Dutch contributors to citizendium –including me– and they could help use with those articles because they are familiar with the subject. But they have no way to of knowing what articles are about Dutch culture; because they have no possibility of seeing a overview of all the articles about Dutch culture. So the article about the [[Netherlands]] could have the category. Netherlands, Dutch language, Frisian Language added to it and Dutch people like me can check that category and see where they need our help. (like translations and verifications). This would also eliminate the need for the category of linguistics; to be add to an articles because we need qualified people to double-check translations | |||
::This would also attract more foreign non-English speaking people when citizendium expands into different language territories. Like wikipedia did. | |||
::Another series of useful categories would be the ideological ones. When you have a online encyclopaedia people will naturally create groups around a ideological mindset; like Marxism, Catholicism or Punk; and it could be helpful if we where able to monitor the movement of different ideologies by giving them there own categories. This would also help those people who are member of an ideology to quickly find what they are looking for. [[User:Micha van den Berg|Micha van den Berg]] 16:32, 28 November 2007 (CST) | |||
