[edit] Invitations

The ultimate success or failure of the project depends on recruiting members and making the process of improving our coverage of maritime trades articles more rewarding. The first step of achieving that goal is to recruit an energetic set of editors. To do that, we have to let people know that the project exists!

Here are a couple of resources to help find Wikipedians that might be interested:
