"The Silmarillion: An Index"
[edit] Scope
The sheer amount of information on the Elder Days collected in The Silmarillion and the Histories of Middle Earth brings the need for an organized, thorough guide for the uses of those fans who find themself needing to cross reference or compare the many versions of Tolkien's work. This Project seeks to be that Guide.

[edit] Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
