(1) Identify a broad area about which you know a lot. (2) Pick out topics in that area that are, in your opinion, among the most important and add them to the appropriate "basic topics" page. Be pretty selective, because we want to know what the most basic articles in a field are.)
So, why do this? To get a good idea of what blanks we need to fill in--hopefully, this will focus a good number of people on the task of writing about those topics. We'll discover a lot of exciting topics that no one has touched yet, and get to work on them. This will increase traffic to the website and make it a lot more useful.
A useful encyclopediaarticle will address a specific topic at a particular level, and each author will contribute mainly by focusing on an area that he or she knows very well.
To ensure this encyclopedia is indeed a free and universal encyclopedia, we must set criteria of freeness for encyclopediaarticles and courses to meet.
When a topic ought to be covered in the encyclopedia or with a course, but it isn't, we must make sure we don't forget that we have a gap.
