Talk:Computers Workgroup/Archive1

I'm moving the following sections from the CZ_Talk:Computers_Workgroup to declutter it. This stuff was on the main page but seemed fairly inactive, so I've placed it here unless someone really really wants it back at a higher page level.Pat Palmer 00:51, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

archiving section titled "General things to know" for now

There probably are a few standards we should agree on, to make the articles within this workgroup more readable. One proposal was for defining a common Pseudocode to use.

The above suggestion has not taken root, so I'm putting it here for now.Pat Palmer 00:02, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

archiving "Articles near completion" because all these have been deemed not yet ready

If you have an article which just needs a little bit of work until you think it is ready for approval, list it here with what you think is missing.

• Computer: Needs cleanup, some books as references, ...
• Linux: Just needs more "gripping prose," and to flow better (we're nerds not accomplished writers) --Eric M Gearhart
• Linux kernel: Same as Linux --Eric M Gearhart
• Buffer overflow: Just needs "third party" editor review. Article is near approval-ready --Eric M Gearhart

archiving "Needed articles" in favor of working on our existing articles at present

The following was on the main page, I'm just saving it here if anyone wants to see it still.Pat Palmer 00:09, 28 August 2007 (CDT)

You can list here any Computers article or topic you think is really missing from Citizendium (or not good enough). Of course the best way is to just start it yourself.
