For technical problems:

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.
* If you are still having trouble, mail <u>personnel@citizendium.org</u> immediately.

Welcome to the Citizendium Pilot Project

This is the home page for the Citizendium pilot project. Its aim is to set up a functioning Citizendium wiki encyclopedia project, demonstrate that it can work, and get it ready for a public launch.

What is the most important thing that could be done here? Simple: Work on articles. The more articles improved over the pre-fork versions, the more viable our enterprise appears to the rest of the world, the more people will join and make it viable. The content-rich get content-richer!
