One more moment (which is not very common for English): lack of reliable sources. We've already had experience in getting access to different scientific works. We should pursue this goal as well. There may be people willing to write good article, but those people lack sources to start their work from.

I would love a single landing page that asks "What Can I Do…" and then has some really big, pretty buttons: [Write Content] [Write Code] [Donate Money] [Donate Services] And then each goes to separate pages that explain what can be done.On Apr 7, 2013, at 12:39 PM, Jon Robson jdlrobson@gmail.com wrote:

Thoughts on what to put there? I cal already think of the following languages to put up:
- PHP
- JS
- Lua
- Python
- Java
- Obj-C
- 'Design'
I'll start a wiki page sometime to collect content, and then spend some time writing the code - we can even fork the original site's code and use it.
Thoughts?
Wikipedia needs editors just as much or more than it needs people who know PHP etc. I would prefer to focus on higher levels of contribution, one of which would be Code, and then drills down into the languages or
frameworks.
P.S. Can we *please* not bikeshed on the domain name? Domain names are cheap -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog
