CZ:Computers Workgroup

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

The purpose of the Computers Workgroup is to coordinate the community of experts and non-experts alike on improving Citizendium articles related to computers and computer science including all its subfields.

All people are invited to help out! Authors interested in this workgroup can add Category:Computers Authors to their user page. Editors can also add Category:Computers Editors to their user page.

We have a discussion forum!

Any article related to the Computers Workgroup should be placed in the category "[[Category:Computers Workgroup]]". This means that we think the Computers Workgroup will be one of the main groups to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not* "[[Category:Computer]]"; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management* and the exact use of further categories (if any) has not yet been decided.

Recruiting people

You can find here an adapted version of the recruitment letter which you can send to your colleagues.

General things to know

There probably are a few standards we should agree on, to make the articles within this workgroup more readable. One proposal was for defining a common Pseudocode to use.

Major Subtopics

(for internal organization once we are a bit bigger?)

• Software engineering
• Algorithms
• Computer networks
• Theory of computation

...

Things to work on

Articles near completion

If you have an article which just needs a little bit of work until you think it is ready for approval, list it here with what you think is missing.

• Computer: Needs cleanup, some books as references, ...
• Linux: Just needs more "gripping prose," and to flow better (we're nerds not accomplished writers) --Eric M Gearhart
• Linux kernel: Same as Linux --Eric M Gearhart
• Buffer overflow: Just needs "third party" editor review. Article is near approval-ready --Eric M Gearhart
