== Maintaining project participants list ==

−

From my past (and what should be current) experience maintaining a list of community team members, maintaining an up-to-date list is difficult task. I would suggest maintaining the list via the category mechanism.

−

So, if I want to join the [[WoWWiki:Lore project]], I would apply to join at [[WoWWiki:Lore project/Signup]] or something and when my application was approved, all that would have to be done is put [[Category:Lore project members]] on my user page. If I wanted to leave the project, I might put a blurb on [[WoWWiki:Lore project/Retired]] and just remove the category from my user page.

−

Also, if we wanted to indicate a project leader or leaders, they would just put [[Category:Lore project members| ]] and that would bump their name to above the '''A''' in the category list.

Before proposing this for official vote, details need to be worked out and the whole thing needs to be cleaned up. I've started that up.

===Deleting inactive projects===

What's a good time period for determining if a project is inactive and should be put up for deletion? Or is deleting any project a bad idea? How about archiving dead projects at an inactive projects page, rather than deleting?

===Project signups===

−

Guidelines on how projects should accept new members? Leave it open for anyone to come and go? How about removing inactive members? How about selecting leadership per project?
