Sunday, March 25: we've launchedI'm exhausted, but there are still some things I'd like to tighten up as more people arrive over the coming few days.
Weds., March 28: well, launch has been amazing.  I've been doing interviews and generally dealing with the aftermath--keeping up with e-mail has been very hard!   


Sorry for the occasional downtime--we're on it.
Thanks to Versuri and others for creating the workgroup article checklist pages.
 
I could use your help.  If you want to help with all this categorization stuff, please look at [[CZ:Astronomy Workgroup]].  Notice "Checklist-generated categories."  The templates used to generate those pages are:
* [[Template:Workgroup developed articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup developing articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup stub articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup external articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup internal articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup advanced articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup nonstub articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup internal articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup underlinked articles]]
* [[Template:Workgroup category check]]
* [[Template:Workgroup cleanup]]
* [[Template:Workgroup checklisted articles]]
 
In each case, to create a page, simply type (for example):
 
:<code><nowiki>{{workgroup developing articles|group=Astronomy}}</nowiki></code>
 
The trouble is that we need to do that sort of thing for ''11'' category pages for ''all the rest'' of our workgroups.
 
Note, I changed [[CZ:Workgroups]] so that all rows now use [[Template:Workgroup]], which is now more generic, and requires just a single parameter: the workgroup name.  The template now fetches the supercategory and forum location information separately.  That means we need to maintain that information separately as well.  The locations are: [[Template:Supcats]] (assigns workgroups to supercategories); [[Template:Forum locations]] (assigns forum URLs to workgroups]]; and, least intuitively, [[Template:Workgroup names with underscores]] (which maps un-underscored workgroup names to underscored versions; e.g., takes "Visual Arts" and spits back "Visual_Arts"; necessary to make the links to recent changes not break). --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 15:40, 17 March 2007 (CDT)

Hi there! Larry Sanger here. I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the Citizendium. If you have a question, I'll try to answer, but you might want to try the Forums first if I don't answer instantly. I'm happy to report that I'm extremely busy!

You can read more about me at my personal home page. I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Ohio State and a passion for Irish traditional music.

I do not claim any sort of editorship other than being Editor-in-Chief, I'm afraid, not even in philosophy or the Internet. I am too long out of doing any serious research.

Weds., March 28: well, launch has been amazing. I've been doing interviews and generally dealing with the aftermath--keeping up with e-mail has been very hard!
