I'm thinking we could possibly have someone create a "Citizendium" account for these services, and then make one weekly post about some news topic, while linking to any pertaining articles that we have on that topic. That should certainly draw in some more folks. --[[User:Robert W King|Robert W King]] 18:04, 13 January 2008 (CST) | I'm thinking we could possibly have someone create a "Citizendium" account for these services, and then make one weekly post about some news topic, while linking to any pertaining articles that we have on that topic.

Mentoring new arrivals
In preparation for the Workgroup Weeks, I had a look at the last 40 entries from the bottom of Special:Log/newusers and noticed that about half of these users who joined in March 2008 have not made a single entry yet. There is of course the CZ:Greeters initiative, and I have seen some such greetings floating around more often recently but I am wondering how we could integrate new users better, perhaps by some kind of mentoring, by modifying the registration procedure such that they have to indicate a CZ article they particularly liked/disliked/would like to work on, or by a non-automated (and thus more personal) version of WP's SuggestBot. Any opinions on that? -- Daniel Mietchen 10:42, 6 June 2008 (CDT)
