What shall we aim for?

[Harshvardhan]

Community+Quality are the most important thing acc. to me...

Indeed - the problem is how we would accomplish it.

[Harshvardhan]

By sacrifices and dedication at our part. We and other members of MRA be should be very active here with a missionary zeal. We are active at forums mostly for 'our help'. Now we have to make this place active- my MRA activity engine and than we'll make it public through a announcement. After 34th hour from now- this would be public. This would really make do it.

Hi,

I think the admins here should definitely aim to build a positive atmosphere and community here at MicroWiki.
I also understand the concern about quality and although I think that we to do more than just have the admins update the quality of articles. I think we need quality tutorials and documentations giving helpful tips and guidelines to writing articles. This would allow the wider community to write quality articles which will help the site grow.

I recently thought of creating video tutorials, but I am not sure how would they be recorded and what would be they about.
Maybe, how to create infoboxes?

For the recording software, http://camstudio.org/ would work, I believe.
As for subjects, the infobox idea would be good. Maybe a article nav bar tutorial too.
We could possible have a section where people could request tutorials, as well.

That is a great idea, that could be implemented right now.

I would definitely agree, although let's not do too many things all at once. MicroWikia has a very small staff and user base and as such isn't capable of simultaneous widespread improvement campaigns.

Improving the quality of articles is the most pressing problem for the Wikia right now. Admins should be clocking a significant amount of time every day combing through and fixing up articles. After that is more or less finished, as Ben said, tutorials should be created to ensure that all future articles created are of a satisfactory quality. Establishing a community, while important, is not as urgent of a problem, and can be dealt with after there is a quality wiki to go along with it.

I believe that the admins should login almost every day. They should help users, fix articles, etc.

I am sure we already do that, but we can try more.
