• Although some people may want to change the format, the about me template seems like a good start to help people put some minimal amount of information on their user pages.--Kathleen

Protocol aggregation

I think some way to automatically add to the protocol page would be useful. For example we could make use of the category feature such that anything tagged with the protocol category would also be listed on the protocol page. Would it be possible to take the data that is used to build a category page and add it to the protocol page?--BC 22:27, 5 February 2006 (EST)

Pages needing work

• A category tag for pages that need further development would be useful, if you come across a page in need of work but were short on time you could tag it and then return to fix it later, or let someone else do it.--BC 22:27, 5 February 2006 (EST)
  • Check out Pages in progress under shared resources. Maybe we could have things automatically added to this page. We'd also have to figure out a way to remove them once they have reached sufficient development such that they can be considered a "regular" wiki page.--Kathleen 22:35, 5 February 2006 (EST)

Requested pages

• A requested pages list, such as on Wikipedia's community portal might be useful. As well as listing all requested pages in a centralized location such as the community portal it would make sense to list them by topic for example requested protocols on the protocols page--BC 22:27, 5 February 2006 (EST)
  • Check out Wanted pages under shared resources. Maybe this needs to be someplace else.--Kathleen 22:35, 5 February 2006 (EST)
