|'''Launch workgroup tagging of articles'''   
'''Launch list of top articles'''  Right now, there is a partial list of high priority articles (see below).  We need to transfer that into a different form, i.e., by placing "[[:Category:Biology Workgroup (Top)]]" at the bottom of articles that are regarded as "high priority" for an area. Note, don't ''also'' mark an article you're tagging as "live" unless you've actually worked on it!
Any article related to the Biology Workgroup should be placed in the category <nowiki>[[Category:Biology Workgroup]]</nowiki>".  This means that we think the biology workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology]]</nowiki>"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*.


'''Launch workgroup tagging of articles''' In addition to tagging top articles, whether live or not, we also need to tag live articles according to their likely managing workgroup.  So, for instance, one might go to "[[:Category:CZ_Live]]" and at the bottom of the "xyz" article put "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology Workgroup]]</nowiki>".  This means that we think the biology workgroup will be the main group to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology]]</nowiki>"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*.
'''Note:''' only articles with the biology workgroup category tag will been seen in the recent changes for ''all biology articles'' (see header above).


'''Launch area managemnet: deferred'''  We should probably defer selection of discipline workgroup management until after more people in each area have arrived, and we have had a chance to finalize how this management will be selected.

==High priority articles==
==High priority articles==
This list of articles was copied from the [[CZ:High priority articles for pilot]] page. It is not complete but it can be used as a starting point for placing "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology Workgroup (Top)]]</nowiki>" tags. We need to decide which of the articles below should be classified as "''Top''" and the remainder should be tagged with  "<nowiki>[[Category:Biology Workgroup]]</nowiki>" tags.
This list of articles is not complete but it can be used as a starting point for writing new articles or focus our efforts towards getting more articles approved. Articles in bold are regarded as a higher priority.  Those struck through are considered as low priority.
 
'''Partial list of potential editors'''
 
See [[:Category:Biology Editors]] for the complete (but steadily growing) list.  The following people have simply declared their interest in various topics; such a declaration does not mean, in the slightest, that they are ''claiming control'' over an article.

Still to do: (i) a welcome message aimed at new editors in your area, and perhaps

(ii) a link to a version of Citizendium_Pilot:Recruitment_Letter adapted for your discipline. And whatever else seems helpful!

The most up to date version of the recruitment letter can been seen here.
How you can help
Launch workgroup tagging of articles

Any article related to the Biology Workgroup should be placed in the category [[Category:Biology Workgroup]]". This means that we think the biology workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "[[Category:Biology]]"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*.

Note: only articles with the biology workgroup category tag will been seen in the recent changes for all biology articles (see header above).

Launch area managemnet: deferred We should probably defer selection of discipline workgroup management until after more people in each area have arrived, and we have had a chance to finalize how this management will be selected.

Proposed subgroups

The organisation we inherited from Wikipedia is subdivided into disciplines within biology, however, we do not have to follow such a format. We can move forward with subgroups that seem more natural, and I imagine some subgroups will include several related disciplines. We can discuss this more on the subgroups thread, in the biology forum, as we reach a critical mass of editors and authors.

Relevant lists and headers from Wikipedia are shown at the bottom of this section. Also, the list of high priority articles in the next section are currently categorized by discipline.
