User:ChiZeroOne/Collaboration

Welcome to the user-hosted collaboration page! The aim here is a focussed approach to getting Spaceflight-related topics up to featured status, taking relatively small areas and then interested members work together on them intensely in a short time to improve them, hopefully to featured status.

Why Skylab for the first collaboration? The fact is there are vast quantities of public domain information about pretty much everything Apollo-related, which means the wider Apollo program is our best chance to get a featured topic relatively easily. It's the "low-hanging fruit" as it were. Of course the whole program is far too large (see the tracker) and I think we suffer from trying to do too much. The Skylab program is however a relatively small and self-contained part of the wider project and so it's easy to make real progress fast. Another point is that this directly helps the Space stations working group in their drive for featured topics on space stations.

Feel free to use this page or its talk page to coordinate this collaboration, especially please help collate the resources list.
