• Do mock-up & preliminary design of {{subpages}} template
• Strategize deeply about the use of subpages for subprojects; among other things, decide: will there be exactly one subproject per subpage type?; decide: will there be checklists, or only categories, for subpages?
• Get Andy Philpotts started on the recruitment software - handed off
• Produce subpage type list; put a canonical list on a wiki page
• Also strategize deeply about the "launch list" of subprojects and about subprojects generally; should each type of subpage have its own Project Workgroup, headed up by a Project Coordinator?
• Do initial conceptualization/policymaking for each of these:
  • Categories (subtopics, supertopics, related topics; prereqs etc., see math board)
  • Annotated Web links
  • Expert (curated) articles with bylines
  • Write other subpage "homepages" if others do not
  • Start importing Language of Science articles
  • Finish importing Language of Science articles
• Subpage approval!

Subpage/subproject stuff:

• Actually prepare a subpage proposal for the Editorial Council

Policy/help page rewriting:

• Rewrite help pages so that it is perfectly clear how starting a new article is changed
• Place templates & categories on all policy and help pages (start here)

  • CZ:Policy Outline
    • Clarify policy on editor banning of authors
  • Main Page
  • CZ:ArticleOTWeek and COTW
  • CZ:Project Home
  • Do general overhaul/rethink of policy and help pages. The goal here is to simplify, clarify, and make more inviting. First step: thoroughly critique these pages.
  • A new "how to get started" page for editors
  • CZ:The Author Role
• Transfer to automated application system
  • Solicit testing from constables
  • Use contents of CZ:Register to enhance Special:RequestAccount
  • Make sure testing has gone well
