View source for Wiki143:WikiProject Computer science/Collaboration of the Week

{{Historical}}
{{Shortcut|WP:CSCOTW}}

Every week a '''Computer Science Collaboration of the Week''' will be picked using this page. The goal of each collaboration is to take an undeveloped or underdeveloped [[computer science]]-related topic and improve it over the course of the week, ideally to the level of a [[Wikipedia:Featured Article|featured article]]. At the end of each week, the topic with the most support votes will be selected for collaboration.

Any registered wikipedian can nominate an article, and can vote for the nominated articles. Voting also indicates interest in contributing during the weekly collaboration cycle. Every Friday, the votes will be tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

If possible, select articles that interest a wider community of editors, rather than those that attract only a small number of people.
