Legend of the Cryptids Wiki:Projects

Projects are joint, collaborative efforts by users at the wiki working towards the goal of improving a set of set of articles or pages which share a common area of interest or topic. Projects serve as a way of providing a means of organization for these collaborative efforts, as well as a means of communication between all the users working together.

==How Projects Work= Each project has its own separate page in the "Legend of the Cryptids Wiki" namespace, and includes:
 * A summary of the project's goals
 * Who is participating in the project
 * Progress made
 * A comments section used for discussion and project coordination

Each project has a 'project leader' who's role is to help provide direction and to help coordinate various tasks and activities. The leader also serves as a central point of contact for all those involved in the project. The leader is usually the project starter, but leadership can change at any point upon agreement by project participants.

The project leader should not be looked at as a 'boss' per se, but rather as someone who helps keep things organized, and provides help to project participants.

Decisions made in projects should always be made upon consensus whenever possible.

New Projects
Projects may be started by any user. Please keep the following in mind before starting:
 * Is there a similar project already in progress with a similar goal or focus to what you have in mind? To check, see the list of projects below. If the answer is yes, consider joining the project rather than creating a new one.
 * Is the project scope broad enough to warrant a project? Projects should be long-term goals which can't be accomplished by a single individual, or in a short period of time.
 * Projects should have a definable goal or purpose, and should be unambiguous in what the project is trying to accomplish. The project's name should be clear and reflect this purpose.
