An orientation page should not be too difficult to create, especially if we
know the target audience (librarians, or other specialists in organization).
We have written a very helpful FAQ page for Wikipedians who migrate to our
project, and I see no reason why we could not have another specialized FAQ
page for other migrating volunteers.
What kinds of people are you looking to bring in? Where are you going to
look, and who are you going to talk to? What can I do to help?

I remember a discussion recently regarding the difficulty in cataloging
Wikibooks. That the Dewey Decimal System is copyrighted and we cannot
therefore use it.
I'd like to make an attempt at bringing in volunteers with a skill in
organizing and cataloging to contribute to the discussions and help put
some organization into Wikibooks, more people with a focus on the
community rather than individual projects.
I've been looking for a way to get people encouraged to help out
Wikibooks and this seems like a pretty good in. What I'd need from you
is a page to orient people into this process, as well as Wikibooks as a
whole.
Ideas?
