[edit] To do list

  • Clarifying the introductory paragraph -- see Riel's suggestion and the discussion around it.
  • Ensuring the links (URLs) to academic programs in futures actually lead to a page about the program; also filiing in descriptions of the programs or courses on the pages created by the internal Wiki links regarding each academic program.
  • Making the list of scholars truly representative of the global intellectual history of futures studies -- see separate page featuring a longer list of futures scholars.
  • Ditto the list of readings: a classic texts list would be useful as a separate category: foundation texts?

<--!What else? Where do we want to go from here?-->

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
