Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

Biology workgroup tasks
Guidelines for this page copied from LS e-mail.

(i) a list of proposed subgroups, (ii) links to the top articles, and other articles, managed by the workgroup, (iii) a link to the discipline's editors, (iv) a link to the discipline's authors, (v) a link to the discipline's forum, (vi) a welcome message aimed at new editors in your area, and perhaps (vii) a link to a version of Citizendium_Pilot:Recruitment_Letter adapted for your discipline. And whatever else seems helpful! (Wiki hackers may notice that several of the above items can be put into a template. We might want to use navigational templates...have at it...)

How you can help
Tasks outlined by Larry Sanger

LAUNCH LIST OF TOP ARTICLES. Right now, there is a list of high priority articles below. We need to transfer that into a different form, i.e., by placing "" at the bottom of articles that are regarded as "high priority" for an area. Note, don't also mark an article you're tagging as "live" unless you've actually worked on it!

LAUNCH WORKGROUP TAGGING OF ARTICLES. In addition to tagging top articles, whether live or not, we also need to tag live articles according to their likely managing workgroup. So, for instance, one might go to Category:CZ_Live and at the bottom of the "Duar War" article put. This means that I think the history workgroup will be the main group to manage this article. Note, the tag is *not*; that's because we're attaching the article to its *management*.

LAUNCH AREA MANAGEMENT: DEFERRED. I think it would be a good idea to defer selection of discipline workgroup management until after more people in each area have arrived, and we have had a chance to finalize how this management will be selected.
