MessageI agree with these remarks. I have on my bio page some specifics, as these indicate more precisely the limits of my expertise: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User:Martin_Baldwin-Edwards

  Hi Larry,

  I had found those, but as far as I could tell there is no list of authors and editors by specific fields of expertise. In other words, I have no idea how many "biology" editors specialize in Neuroscience or Immunology. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to post a list of editors subfields of expertise in each major knowledge area. For example, I would be much more capable of editing articles on neuroscience, immunology and evolution then I would be at editing articles on population genetics. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have each editor list areas of expertise, which could then be put into a database or some other organizing system for other editor's convenience.

  John

  John,

  Thanks for the feedback.  As to the lists you want, they already exist.  See this list of workgroups:

  http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Workgroups

  Note the "Editors List" and "Authors List" columns.

  For purposes of coordination, note also the new workgroup mailing lists (attached), which can be used to e-mail announcements to all active editors of specific workgroups.

    Hello All,

    This sounds like a very good start. 

    I would also like to suggest that we add pages to the editors and authors pages that list the areas of knowledge that each author/editor is to be involved in. I did not see any list pertaining to who is working on what sections. This would especially help editors coordinate.

    John M.
