Portal:Free software/Task list
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you would like to help, here are some suggestions for things to do. The date in parenthesis is the date on which the task was added.
- (2007-03-25) The Embedded Linux is full of external links, too many, some just need to be removed, and other should point to wikipedia articles instead
- (2007-03-22) The OpenMoko article is quite weak for such an interesting free software topic. Help sought.
- (2007-03-03) Patents and free software is a consolidation of previous stubs - it's new, so it needs some help and some review
- (2007-03-01) Permissive and copyleft licences needs help - try looking at what links to it, such as Free_software_licences#BSD_philosophy, BSD licenses, and Copyleft to see what should be factored out into this article.
- (2007-02-14) List of FSF approved software licences would be better if each licence were followed by some examples of software released under that licence.
- (2007-02-07) The History of free software article is new and seeks contributions, particularly if you have links to essays by old-times for info about free software in the 80s and 70s, as well as 90s and 60s.
- (2007-02-01) The Emacs, Common Unix Printing System, and Ubuntu articles were formerly featured articles, but have since had that status revoked. Maybe it would be easy to get them back up to Featured Article quality.
- (2007-01-24) Some cleanup, and some aggregation, and probably some merging, is needed for
Autotools, GNU build system, and GNU toolchain - (2006-12-18) Add a section on how to contribute to the opensource comunity. This should cover how to create a program from existing technologies, languages and other opensource programs, how to fix a bug, write documentation, etc.
- (2006-10-10) In Free software licences, more work is needed on the new section:
Freedom preserving restrictions - (2006-10-10) Many articles containing phrases such as "free software licence" or "free software community", when it is usually better to link to "free software licence" and "free software community" instead of the main free software article.
- (2006-09-18) Free software should be mentioned in Software engineering
- (2006-09-13) Free software community needs more work
(2006-09-03) Eclipse Public License need to be improved. There are severe POV issues.- (2006-08-25) For each article about a free software package, there should be a link to the licence information.
- (2006-08-22) The Category:Free software companies category is new and could use some help. Category:Copyleft licensing needs help too, as does Category:Emacs users.
- (2006-06-15) add {{free software-stub}} to free software related articles which are stubs
- (2006-06-06) Work is being done to create useful sub-categories in Category:Free software. This requires help to move articles from Category:free software into the sub-categories.
- (2006-04-12) Add the
{{portal|Free software|Floss draft.png}}tag to articles about, or related to, free software. - (2005-12-30) The Copyleft article contains information duplicated elsewhere, a review would be good
