Anybody able to add the mentioned layer in the [[Computer]] pages?, I think it needs Larry to do that.

(typed just like that) at the bottom of articles you've worked on.  Please do check that this "tag" is there.  It should be added to ''all'' and ''only'' those articles on which someone has made a substantial change (say, the addition or subtraction of a sentence's worth of content; most have been changed much more than that, in my observation).

If you add yourself to a [[CZ:Discipline Workgroups|workgroup]] (and you really should), please make sure that you use a pipelink.  This way, you're sorted properly on the page.  If you just use <nowiki>[[Category:XXX Authors]]</nowiki>, then you wind up on the page as a "U" (since you're adding your "User:FirstLast" page).  The right way to do it is <nowiki>[[Category:XXX Authors</nowiki>'''|Last Name, First Name'''<nowiki>]]</nowiki>, so that you show up alphabetized properly.  Ditto for editors.  --[[User:ZachPruckowski|ZachPruckowski]] 17:25, 29 November 2006 (CST)

Is there any objection to put a deepening layer in the [[Computers]] pages? I would suggest the following layer between computers and the final detail pages:
[[Computer Science]] [[Science of Computers]] and [[Computer Linguistics and Semantics]]
(Generally the first two are distinguished as follows: deployment of science, pure science (theoretical) and logics, linguistics and semantics oriented.
Thanks.
Rob
 
 
Could those who know how please look at "Healing Arts" on the list of workgroups on the main page and fix it so that it clicks to its own "Healing Arts" section rather than the generic "other arts". This way we can start the workgroup and tag articles? Thanks. [[User:Nancy Sculerati MD|Nancy Sculerati MD]] 11:33, 24 November 2006 (CST)
Thanks to Chris Day for fixing the category. Could someone who know how kindly add a Healing Arts Forum that links to Healing Arts? [[User:Nancy Sculerati MD|Nancy Sculerati MD]] 14:27, 24 November 2006 (CST)
:The Forum administrators (who can create boards) are Larry Sanger, Jason P, and Phil W.  Also, you need a [[Healing Arts]] article.  That's pretty important in terms of defining your focus (and how it differs from Health Science and Biology)--[[User:ZachPruckowski|ZachPruckowski]] 16:01, 24 November 2006 (CST)

'''[https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-l/2006-November/000805.html We're just now launching discipline workgroups!  Your help is needed!]'''
 
The wiki has a weird bug.  Sometimes you edit a page, and, for no apparent reason, your changes aren't displayed--"hard refreshing" won't even work.  But if you edit the page, you can see that your changes ''have'' been saved.  If that happens to you, here's a handy work-around (until a bug fix comes in): simply add a space to the end of a paragraph (obviously such a space will not be displayed), or make any other edit, and then your previous changes will be displayed.

Please report any unusual bugs at bugs@citizendium.org.  That address has been set up to send mail to people who are maintaining our canonical bugs list.

[http://www.citizendium.org/cfa.html We've just revised our application procedure and rules.]  You should see some more authors arriving.

'''Help with CZ recruitment!'''  We have some [[Citizendium_Pilot:Project_Home#Project_Recruitment|project recruitment]] pages that need your help.  Add information about mailing lists, blogs, and professional organizations in your area that we should (eventually, and carefully) approach.

[https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-l/2006-November/000748.html CZ is not for experts only!]
 
Answer to Rob's question put on [[Talk:Database]].  Notice that "Talk" pages (click on the "discussion" tab!) are the best places to discuss articles.
 
=== November 8, 2006 ===
 
Is your User page filled out? Please put ''something'' there if you are active on the pilot wiki. We are not anonymous here, but members of a real community (a welcoming one!).
 
=== November 6, 2006 ===
 
The personnel administrators have just finished going through several hundred applications to join this pilot project, and we've also sent out a mail to our many members, asking them to get to work.  As a result, there's a lot more activity going on today.  Let's keep it going!
 
If you check "Watch this page" at the bottom of a page, you add it to your "watchlist."  That's what the "my watchlist" link in the upper right is for.

*I'm ''off-duty'' for a few days. I'm answering the occasional email etc. but that's it. Thanks, [[User:Peter Hitchmough|Peter Hitchmough]].
* Is anyone getting extremely poor rendering of pilot pages? See [http://forge.citizendium.org/gf/project/caesarwiki/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=54 Bug #54] reported by [[User:Ruth Ifcher]] --[[User:Peter Hitchmough|Peter Hitchmough]] 08:16, 5 November 2006 (CST)
** I've seen a few, but it seems to come and go. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 12:22, 5 November 2006 (CST)

A tip for people new to wikis: for many, '''the [http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Special:Recentchanges recent changes page]''' (link on the left, not to be confused with "Random page" and "Related changes") is a source of endless fascination.  It allows you to explore what other people are up to, help them, and "keep them honest."  More generally, if you've never used a wiki before, there are all sorts of tricks you will discover mostly by regular use and exploration of available links.  We'll have to write our own instructions, but for now you can consult [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents Wikipedia's help pages].
 
=== November 2, 2006 ===
 
Please make sure you '''add <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Live]]</nowiki>''' to the ''bottom'' of the text box of whatever article you're editing.  That will make sure your work gets counted, and that it is listed (very conveniently!) on [[:Category:CZ Live]].  If we're good about labelling our articles this way, we'll have an accurate count of the number of articles we've worked on.  Also, don't be shy about slapping labelling articles that others have worked on with the <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Live]]</nowiki> tag.  It's properly bold!
 
Again, see '''http://blog.citizendium.org/''' for the latest project news.  This notice board is just for administrative notices, not for news.
 
=== November 1, 2006 ===
 
Please '''add yourself to your contributor category:''' <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Editors]]</nowiki> to the bottom of your user page if we invited you to be an editor.  Please add <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Authors]]</nowiki> if you're an author (editors can feel free to add themselves to this list, too).  Constables should be able to figure out what to do.  :-)

'''[https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-l/2006-October/000657.html Two personal requests]''' from Larry: how about a new article, and a complete revision of an old article?
 
=== October 29, 2006 ===
 
'''If you're new, please read''' [[Citizendium_Pilot:How_to_get_started_with_the_Citizendium_pilot|how to get started with the Citizendium pilot]]!  It tells you to use <nowiki>[[Category:CZ Live]]</nowiki> on articles you've edited, and other essential tips.
