[edit] Things to do

   1. Propsed alternative: Wikipedia talk:World War II wikireader/arrangement2
3. Copyedit:
   1. Basic proofreading - all typos must be fixed, bad grammar fixed, etc.
   2. Factual inaccuracies need to be squashed
   3. All battles must have taxoboxes. All taxoboxes must be complete.
4. Copy and paste all the articles into one large article (A developer may be able to do this automatically)
5. Final cleanup.
   1. Remove Wiki-links (this may not be necessary)
   2. Remove Categories
   3. Remove disambiguation headers
   4. Remove external links
   5. Remove GFDL-incompatible images
   6. See-also's must be limited only to articles in the Wiki-reader.
   7. Names should be clarified, if not already clear.
6. Export to PDF
   1. Design a cover
7. Print and sell

[edit] Proposed Timeline

I'm tentatively shooting to have this done by September 1. This is probably wildly optomistic, but I'm going to try to do it nonetheless. I definitely want it done by October 1. →Raul654 23:40, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

December 7 is more optimistic. Danny 23:41, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Never underestimate the power of someone who has a month with nothing better to do :) →Raul654 05:28, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)

<insert jocular and good-natured jibes here>...mind you, WikiReader Cryptography's completion date was originally set for November, iirc ;-) — Matt 23:53, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Project status

May I ask what the status is on this project? 119 07:49, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Dormant. →Raul654 17:51, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

Why? Do you anticipate it returning? 119 19:36, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Well, that's possible, but unlikely. →Raul654 19:52, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

Do you need more help? I would be willing to help in some way --Rain 19:40, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
