Welcome!
Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start. You'll probably want to know how to get started as an author. Just look at CZ:Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. Be sure to stay abreast of events via the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list (do join!) and the blog. Please also join the workgroup mailing list(s) that concern your particular interests. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forums is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any constable for help, too. Me, for instance! Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Hayford Peirce 19:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Cesar, Welcome! I noticed that you asked about using acronyms at Citizendium. The answer is to go ahead and spell them out. The purpose is to avoid developing a clique community that makes it difficult for others to become familiar with. This is especially important for our older users (like me) that aren't familiar with the lingo. Here's the policy concerning that question.
