Other pages that are related:

P2P Foundation Wiki Taxonomy provides a general overview of the taxonomy
Help:Using Categories provides documentation for editors wishing to make use of categories
Category:P2P Foundation is the top-level category for the site. All categories in use should be made subcategories of this category

Keep in Mind

This document focuses on particular categories and actions needed to bring them into alignment with the P2P Foundation Wiki Taxonomy article.

The current direction is to maintain a low barrier to entry, which means providing an easy way for users to add categories to pages, and that limits the

Simple is good. It's important that users, especially new users, feel comfortable adding information and that they don't run into any big complexity issues.

P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons as Primary Container for Article Subcategories

These are now established and outlined in the P2P Foundation Wiki Taxonomy article, which is a resource of second resort for users inquiring into advanced category usage. Additionally, highly specific instructions are included at Help:Using Categories for new editors.

The core subcategories currently contained within the Category:P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons are:

P2P Domains

P2P Foundation Network

P2P Multimedia Directory

P2P Paradigms

Outstanding Tasks for Categorization

Categorize Michel Bauwens's ordered Book into the Category:P2P Theory
Categorize uncategorized pages into at least one of the sub-subcategories of the Category:P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons
Categorize pages with a country category. See Category:World for examples
Move Category:Individuals pages to Category:Bios by applying the right category. Then move the page itself by renaming it with Firstname Lastname (instead of last first).
- Do a search and merge duplicates along the way.
Use a bot to change Peerproduction to Peer Production and the like throughout the site.

-=Editing Tasks for Taxonomy=
-==Changes to the Current Taxonomy==
-* Recategorize  Michel's ordered Book into the [[:Category:Theory | Theory Category]]
-* Establish "Major Category" Taxonomy on this page.  Idea's welcome.
-*Recategorize pages into Subcategories
-**[[User:GoodRollin]] is arranging pages in subcategories in the area of [[:Category:Commons]] like [[:Category:Thing Commons]] .
-***Will also be doing some organizing under "Commons Based Enterprise/Production/Making/Interchange/Systems" once I talk to people about what the heck it should be called.
-**Move country page content into a new subcategory/country page.  Sometimes this may serve as introduction to the language pages of a country as well.  We may be able to list language pages on this page later using an extension.
-**Move [[:Category:Individuals]] pages to [[:Category:Bios]] pages and retitle them with Firstname Lastname (instead of last first).
-***Do a search and merge duplicates along the way.
-- '''Note on naming conventions''': Hi Mark, I do not agree with the use of CamelCase, which is machine language, though you could write your name "Firstname Lastname". However, the existing convention, taken from the library and documentation world, is "Lastname, Firstname". Since there are already hundreds of entries in that format, please let's stick to it.
-# Write a page on naming conventions.  Currently people are named two ways - for refernece LastName, FirstName and for editing the wiki FirstInitialLastName.  For working within the wiki however, people will not be writing LastName, FirstName, too difficult. Maybe FirstInitialLastName, but more naturally is just your name. [[MarkDilley]]
