Let's get started!

Please explore and read, but bear in mind: you can learn a lot by doing, and no one will mind if you make a few mistakes as you do so. Since this is a wiki, mistakes can be easily fixed. Be Bold--and welcome! |

Your "getting started" to do list
Things new Citizens should do:
- Sign up.
- Check your user page. Be sure
[[Category:CZ Authors]]is on the page if you're an author (or an editor who wants also to be counted among the authors), and[[Category:CZ Editors]]if you're an editor. If you're an author, you can add other workgroup author categories to taste, such as[[Category:Philosophy Authors|LastName, FistName]]. Note that only Citizendium management can add workgroup editor categories, such as[[Category:Chemistry Editors]]. - Sign up to the community announcement list, Citizendium-L.
- Get to work! Don't wait for assignments; this isn't a top-down project.
