Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Early computers task force

Some Wikipedians have formed a task force to better organize information in articles related to early computers (for which purpose early computers are loosely described as anything before those using integrated circuits). This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this task force will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Scope
This task force is a place to co-ordinate work on the numerous Wikipedia pages about early computers.

Participants

Goals
We are starting with a very limited list of goals; however, free free to add more (after discussion on the Talk: page, of course).


 * To standardize classification of early computers into several different Categories. See /Generations for a draft article on the stages of early computer development.
