| | === '''Help Write Articles about our World''' === |
|
| |
|
| This is the home page for the ''Citizendium'' pilot project. Our aim here is to set up a functioning ''Citizendium'' wiki encyclopedia project, demonstrate that it can work, and get it ready for a public launch.
| | Welcome to '''Citizendium''', a wiki for providing free knowledge where authors use their '''real names'''. We regard information as a public good and welcome anyone who wants to share their knowledge on virtually any subject. Our online community prides itself on being congenial and supportive. |
| | {{Getting Started}} |
|
| |
|
| '''IF YOU HAVE NOT APPLIED YET TO JOIN THE PILOT PROJECT''' please [http://www.citizendium.org/cfa.html follow this link] for more information and application directions. | | See '''<big>[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]</big>'''—an overview of articles being worked on ''now''. |
|
| |
|
| What is the most important thing that we could be doing here? Simple: work on articles. The more articles we greatly improve over the Wikipedia versions, the more viable our enterprise is going to look to the rest of the world, and the more people will join in and ''make'' it viable. The content-rich get content-richer! So please get started!

|
| |
|
| If this is your first visit, here are some tips:
| |
| * See [[Citizendium_Pilot:How_to_get_started_with_the_Citizendium_pilot|how to get started with the Citizendium pilot]]
| |
| * You need to apply to join the pilot project. Please see [http://www.citizendium.org/cfa.html this page]. Once you've received an invitation, you should create your account, and then send an email with your account name to personnel@citizendium.org to activate it. We'll send you a note back that we've let you in. Note: you will not be able to confirm your email address until ''after'' this email.
| |
| * Check the [[CZ:Notice Board|Notice Board]] for the latest announcements, requests, etc.
| |
| * For general news, check [http://blog.citizendium.org/| the blog].
| |
| * If you get a weird error message, refresh the page, or do a "hard refresh" (ctrl-F5 in Windows) of the page you're trying to visit. We might still be figuring out the proper settings for caching. Sorry about this bug, we'll squash it eventually.
| |
| * For general help questions, you can always try [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php?board=18.0 the "Help" board at the CZ Forums]. If you're new to all this and have some general questions, why not go there and ask away?
| |
| * If you're still having trouble, mail personnel@citizendium.org immediately. Thanks.
| |
| Please be patient. We're fixing problems as they come up and that occasionally leads to more problems. :-)

| == Disciplines ==
| |
|
| |
|
| Citizendium personnel are informally divided up into '''[[CZ:Discipline Workgroups|discipline workgroups]].''' Workgroups have oversight of specific disciplines; their homepages are at ^^. The articles corresponding to workgroup names are good places to look for important articles to edit, and we want these articles themselves to be excellent as well. Some, like [[Biology]] have already been completely rewritten.
