Wiki143:WikiProject Software/Free and open-source software task force

Welcome to the free and open-source software task force, a project devoted to creating, improving, and maintaining articles related to free and open-source software (FOSS), and bringing them to good or featured article status. The scope of this project extends to articles about:

• free and open-source software programs
• FOSS operating systems (Linux-based, BSD-based, and others)
• websites for and about FOSS software and community
• organizations, such as the GNU Project, the Free Software Foundation, and the Open Source Initiative
• people, such as Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and Keith Bostic

Always remember to follow Wikipedia conventions, and to be bold!

The FOSS task force is supported by WikiProject Software and WikiProject Computing.

After you sign up, please get active on this page and/or on the talk page. You may want to add some of the below todo lists to your watch list.

Articles

To tag an article as a FOSS article, please add the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|free-software=y|free-software-importance=|software=y|software-importance=}}

This produces the following banner:

The banner adds the talk page to Category:WikiProject Free and open-source software articles.

Userbox

The FOSS task force userbox is transcluded by using {{User FOSS task force}}, which yields: Template:Template other

Invitation

To invite a user to the FOSS task force, use Template:Tlxs, which displays: Template:FOSS task force invite Use Template:Tlxs to include a section heading before the message.

The Assessment department will focus on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's FOSS-related articles. This will aid us in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Stub-, Start-, and B-class assessments can be made by every editor (although generally you should not assess an article on which you have had a major influence). A-class assessment is made within this project, while Good Article and Feature Article assessments require formal review procedures outside of this project.

Assessment should be conducted following these guidelines.
