Outreach efforts
How would everyone who's interested like to go about this? Should we target the most rudimentary and underdeveloped outlines and their respective wikiprojects first, or outlines that could be considered high priority? Any thoughts? Minnecologies (talk) 18:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd go with most underdeveloped and rudimentary first, since those that could be considered high priority might get done in the meantime anyway.  T i a m u t talk 19:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Why not just start? Two days ago, I posted notices to over 100 WikiProject talk pages.  I'll do more as I find the time.  I simply started at the beginning of the WikiProject directory, and posted a message to every WikiProject that I came across that has a viable outline subject.  There's still lots left.


 * Just do as many as you can each day (even if it is only a few), and then before you know it, we'll have contacted them all!

 * Hey guys. I'm going to sound like a dunce, but I missed where I can see the list of outlines that need work. And a question: Is there an Outline of birds? Because I can contact them about it, having been in touch for help about List of birds of Palestine.  T i a m u t talk 23:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * We know you're not a dunce. :)


 * Outlines needing work can be found at WikiProject Outline of knowledge/open tasks and WikiProject Outline of knowledge/Projected outline.


 * To find your way around, see WP:OOKDIR.


 * There is currently no Outline of birds that I know of. The Transhumanist 01:05, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response and rejection of my dunced-ness. I'll ask the Bird project if they want to start one then. And I'll check out the pages too to see where else I can go. Will update y'all when I have something to report.  T i a m u t talk 01:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Here are the ones I contacted
First I started with a notice, then I realized a question would be much more likely to get discussion started at each WikiProject. This has great potential. To my delight, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football, someone mentioned that they had already started an outline, and provided the link!

Posted a question: Are there enough ariticles to justify an outline on this subject?
