technical things needing attention

Starting a brief tracking list here, to be moved elsewhere soon, I hope:Pat Palmer (talk) 03:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• HTTPS not working
• need a design (responsive or adaptive) that can be read on mobile devices
• need to get registration process working
• need to make the server run faster, possibly by adding RAM

process things going on

Starting to keep track of things needing process attention in the list below:Pat Palmer (talk) 03:13, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• formal shutdown/closeout of old CZ project
• planning for the next phase of wiki operation
  • formation of an advisory panel
    • getting an email list working to send notices to advisory panel
• getting an email list working to send notices to all users active since some date tbd
  • how to pull user names/emails?
• getting an email list working to send notices to all technical leads
  • John S. and Pat P. are working on this

status as of June 2020

Since discussion is ongoing at Forum_Talk:Technical_Issues#Any_further_thoughts.3F about possible wiki shutdown, I have chosen to proceed as though there is a consensus to end Citizendium as a public project, but possibly continue running the servers for people who still want to write in the wiki, using both a subscription and donation financial approach, and having a small core of managers act as benevolent dictators to keep the server running. Hence, I have started revising the front page to reflect this.Pat Palmer (talk)

Put Approved articles on front page

It seems to me that there are enough approved articles to have a link on the front page to them. The links on the left most column on the front page are to "live" or working articles, but shouldn't there be a link there to approved articles? There is a link on the front page to approved articles, but it isn't obvious, or not as obvious as the stuff in the left most column. That's where the approved article link should be.

Yes, I agree and can do that. John Stephenson 10:29, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks great. Gene Shackman 22:58, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
