We are planning a big "online convention" of philosophers here on the ''Citizendium.''  Would you like to see more work done in philosophy?  Then here is your chance to make a difference.  Leading up to this week, we will be doing quite a bit of recruitment (on philosophy mailing lists, departments, and so forth).  We'll try to tap into many networks so that there is general awareness both of the ''Citizendium'' and of this special week.  Consider it a major kick-off for the XYZ Workgroup.

Welcome to Philosophy Week planning!

We are planning a big "online convention" of philosophers here on the Citizendium. Would you like to see more work done in philosophy? Then here is your chance to make a difference. Leading up to this week, we will be doing quite a bit of recruitment (on philosophy mailing lists, departments, and so forth). We'll try to tap into many networks so that there is general awareness both of the Citizendium and of this special week. Consider it a major kick-off for the Philosophy Workgroup.

We need your help to make this happen. This page lists volunteers for different (mostly recruitment) functions. Won't you sign up and make the Philosophy Week a success? Any author can sign up to do anything, other than serve as the coordinator for the week.

Dates: not yet set

The week dates can be set when there are adequate numbers of volunteers below, and must be coordinated on Workgroup Weeks. There can't be two Workgroup Weeks happening at the same time.

Philosophy Week Coordinator(s): no volunteer yet

Any editor in the Philosophy Workgroup may volunteer; we can have up to two coordinators, and two is better if any one coordinator is relatively short on time.
