 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Also, if this is you, please note that it is considered by many editors here to be very bad form to edit Wikipedia articles where you have a strong conflict of interest, and even more so if you've not declared that you do indeed have such a conflict. (Too much of the Kuali Foundation article already sounds far too similar to extracts from press releases, which are violations of the policy of a neutral point of view for articles.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 04:48, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi John,


 * Thanks for the tutorial information and the update. I was asked by my superior to edit the page with no background on the wikipedia policies. They were just concerned that much of the information was out of date. I'll let them know that it is a violation of Wikipedia's policies for me to continue to edit the page for them. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

 * You're welcome. To the extent that things are out of date in the article, I'd be happy to fix them. Please note that Wikipedia has a strong preference for what are known as reliable sources; unfortunately, I've seen very few of these as I've monitored the news over the past year or more for anything about Kuali software. But perhaps you know of more than what shows up in Google. And if it's a matter of deleting things, or minor corrections, then press releases or even a website can be useful. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello again, John! I'll do my best to give you some of the resources that I know of that are out there, and poll around the organization to see if anyone else knows some others. Of course theirs our company's website, http://www.kuali.org. But it looks like "reliable sources" should include some non-Kuali originated materials. I've pulled together some journal articles from the higher education technology community, which I hope will at least be a step in the right direction.


 * * The first is from "The Chronicle of Higher Education." Information about their publication is on their About page here. If you run a search for Kuali on their site, you come up with a number of relevant articles and blogposts. This includes some of the early articles about the software's start, as well as some of the later articles describing some of the successes (and some of the things we are less happy about, like institutions that left the project).
 * * The second is an article in the EDUCAUSE review called "The Marketecture of Community." It discusses some of the basic philosophy of open sources software for higher education organizations that are similar to (and including) Kuali.
 * * This is an article directly pertaining to the beginning of one of our projects, Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE). It was given at the American Library Association's ALCTS Midwinter Symposium and published on their website: http://www.ala.org/alcts/sites/ala.org.alcts/files/content/resources/z687/obrien.pdf.
 * * This is an article from the Campus Technology magazine from their "IT Trends|QA" section from October 2011, discussing Kuali and Kuali Financial System.
 * * For news posts, we just recently launched a new version of our website and are having trouble getting all of our archived news posts to surface to the new page. So the new "news" link is https://kuali.org/news. The old news page (which has more material and is a little easier to navigate) is available here.
 * * The updated Kuali Commercial Affiliate (KCA) list is here. I think that was one of the things in the article that really needed an update.

 * I hope this gives you a good place to start. Thanks again for all your help. Let me know if there's more I can do to make this article better! Also, sorry about the formatting, I'm having trouble figuring out how to indent a section for my reply and get it to have bullets at the same time. Ah well, I think the point still comes across.
