Benjamin Franklin "Living without a goal is like shooting without a target."
In an effort to move discussion items to completion, I am proposing that we use the following outline, subject to change, as a way to help us achieve that. This could be put in a table if we ever get the gridlines back! For instance, I have been contacting Wiki Project leaders to get the status of those projects on the page "Wiki Projects Seeking Contributors". I am proposing that we create an Archive page for the finished, cancelled or suspended pages that would have the link to the main project pages on it. Then, we could have a badge created for those pages so that people would know immediately that the project is finished, etc.
- Goal for this item: Have an accurate list of ongoing projects
- Steps to achieve this goal:
- Create an Archive page (a page with links to the finished, etc. pages)
- Move project links to that page
- Create a badge for the finished project main page (Wikipedia has an excellent example of templates for our purpose
- Get the badge on those pages
- Assignments and dates of completion:
- Templates and categories - Steve
- Once the above are completed, templates will be added to the pages (badge)
- Report back next week on progress
- Assignments and dates of completion:
- Evaluation date: 10 Jan 2013
- averyld 18:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Evaluate 2012 and give ideas for goals for 2013 - will be on agenda for next week.
