WikiProject Software Announcement
edit
- Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there.
- WikiProject Free Software is now merged with WikiProject Software. The link to WikiProject Free Software is Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free Software.
- To better serve Wikipedia, WikiProject Malware is now under the parent of WikiProject Computer Security. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, you are welcome to join at WikiProject Computer Security!
- All members of WikiProject Software are urged to install the Centralized Announcement System on their talk page.
- I have changed the participant (members) table by replacing the Task column with Area of Expertise. I also introduced a new template based status system so as to "arrange" the members according to whether they are active, semi-active, inactive, or retired. Please update your entry accordingly.
- New IRC server! The old channel on Freenode is not used anymore. See See here. Manual for using IRC can be found here for why. Find us at:
| Server host | irc.libera.chat |
| Port | 6697 |
| channel | #wikipedia-en-software |

Tasks to finish

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

WikiProject Software to do list
edit- The following topics are missing an article; calling all enthusiasts to start these articles urgently. [Read the Talk page]
- Gordian Knot (software), AutoGK, a bit obsolete, but still worth an article, or two (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeSweet)
- Topaz Labs (software), photo editing software in the same vein as Photoshop or NIK software. The company has expanded and is used by many various fine art and photography professionals. www.topazlabs.com. Deserves an article.
- (please feel free to add more)
- The following articles need some updating and cleanup (please feel free to add more):
- BlueSpice for MediaWiki
- Cabri Geometry, article too short but of significant importance
- Defraggler
- EmEditor, needs notability references, and general improvements
- Ext4
- Flowtracer
- Google File System, tagged with {{Expert-subject|Software|date=November 2008}}
- Home Assistant (seems to be consensus that this needs cleanup from uninvolved editors after its 2nd AfD, as of 2021-04-02)
- Hypervisor, the PCs and desktop systems section needs attention
- Jv16 powertools [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- KVIrc
- Light (web browser), just created, it's decently written but still really short, and it's not part of this project yet
- mdadm, mostly non-encyclopedic content (HOWTO/manual)
- Micro Transport Protocol, widely used since uTorrent 2.0 released
- Ntfsprogs
- Norton 360
- Recuva
- Presentation Manager, requesting screenshot of GUI, also needs references
- Program Information File
- Software as a service
- Windows library files
- XNUMBERS
- Zamzar
- Zero Install, a bit confusing article, needs to be explained more clearly
- Autodesk Media and Entertainment, major content deletion happened for cleanup on 17 March 2008 (11,000K to 2,000K), and now it's so outdated & stub-like it needs a total rebuild
- List of web application frameworks, go through the articles of listed frameworks and nominate for deletion the non-notable ones, clean the list from non-notable ones, clean Template:Application frameworks
- Aviary (application suite) Needs major updating, referencing, and clean up.
- Scrumban article reads like a sales brochure and I don't have the subject knowledge to fix it.
- The following page lists articles that need expert attention from WikiProject Software and have been tagged by {{Expert-subject|Software}}:

Your article
editHi, I did some minor cleanup on your article. The main problem is that it might not be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia and that the articles lacks reliable sources. However this topic is not my expertize so you'd better off asking around at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. You can also read, if you haven't yet, Wikipedia:Your first article. Hope this helps, Garion96 (talk) 20:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

editIt was trivia, unsourced and of no notable value. Dp76764 (talk) 21:05, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Fact or not, that little tidbit is hardly of any notable consequence and doesn't contribute constructively to the article. Dp76764 (talk) 21:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- It's not a question of me believing it; I'm sure it's there. The question is: how is this notable to the article? It's not. It's just a piece of trivia. Take a look through this policy: WP:HTRIV Dp76764 (talk) 21:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- No attacks, just miscommunication =( Something to think about: not ALL pieces of information belong in Wikipedia. Happy editing! Dp76764 (talk) 22:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
