Coordination

The project coordinators are generally responsible for maintaining all of the procedural and administrative aspects of the project, and serve as the designated points-of-contact for procedural issues. They are not, however, endowed with any special executive powers.

The project does not yet have any formally designated coordinators, given that it is still in its comparative infancy. However, for purposes of helping coordinate project activities, User:John Carter has indicated a willingness to perform such functions. Please feel free to contact him directly if you have questions regarding this project which either haven't been responded to here or regarding any other matters you believe are relevant to this project.

Departments

Assessment

The Assessment department finds historical articles for the first time and rate them on quality and importance scales.

Collaboration

Help can be requested for an article you are working on or youhave found abandoned. A list of opentasts can also be found here

Review

The Review department carries out peer reviews on historical articles and nominates articles for good and featured status. It also carries out A-Class reviews on articles within our scope.

Outreach

The Outreach department acts as a central location for various member outreach work, including project newsletters, recruitment and welcoming banners, and other related initiatives.

Task forces
