CZ:How you can help

A Citizens' Compendium can get off the ground only if there are many "citizens" at work on it--working not only on articles, but also on other essential tasks. This page is a summary of outstanding tasks you can help with, and has links to more information.

1. TECHNOLOGY

   * Hardware - We badly need donations of money and hardware.  We need a serious database server, which is not cheap.  We're looking for SCSI drives and some sort of RAID solution (5 or 10).
   * Software - Please sign up at the development site and join the "Citizendium Tools mailing list".  Bugs can also go to this address (but not to both places)
   * Website and Design

1. CONTENT

   * Policy Documents - We need to flesh out the policy pages listed [Citizendium_Pilot:Policy_Outline here].  Most of them don't exist yet.  Try to incorporate information from that page, and the main Citizendium site as well as forum/list discussion.  If you create a page, let everyone know on the forum so they can help.
