| ''Battlestar Wiki'' is always expanding, but some of our projects need extra attention from all the members to get them done. Some of these projects have "due" dates to make sure that they are completed by a certain time. The dates for "due" dates were achieved with a consensus of the participants of the discussion. [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin Jr.]], site owner, does not need consensus to set due dates, but usually informs the group of what's going on.

== To do lists ==
''Battlestar Wiki'' is the first online ''Battlestar Galactica'' encyclopedia ever to exist, and the greatest source of information about BSG (other than the [[Series bible|series bible]], which is not available to the public). However, that comes at a cost: many are [[Battlestar Wiki:Stub|stubs]] that need attention. If you like, go ahead, [[Battlestar Wiki:Be bold in updating pages|be '''bold''']] and [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank|think your ideas]], and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a [[#Collaborations|Collaboration]] section and see where you can help out.

'''Main Page'''
Since our redesign, we have decided not to include all the community links on the front page, but only a few. Because of this we will gather every so often to choose a new set of "community" links to be placed on the main page. However, you can ask for "friend" status from [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe]], and you get placed in the friend's Box with an Icon. There is only limited "friend" status. To stay "friend" status you must display the ''[[:Image:BSG WIKI Extthumb.png|Battlestar Wiki]]'' thumb.

Welcome to the Community Portal!

Contents:
1) Community bulletin board
2) Site Goals
3) Discussions
4) To do lists
5) Link Area
6) Edit Main Page

The Community Portal is the central place to find out what's happening on Battlestar Wiki. Learn what tasks need to be done, what groups can be joined, and get or post news about recent events or current activities.

Community Bulletin Board
Post your Battlestar Wiki related announcements here! Portals and collaborations should be listed in their sections at the bottom. New initiatives, proposals, discussions, or article drives should be listed under "Notices".

Notices

Goals
Battlestar Wiki is always expanding, but some of our projects need extra attention from all the members to get them done. Some of these projects have "due" dates to make sure that they are completed by a certain time. The dates for "due" dates were achieved with a consensus of the participants of the discussion. Joe Beaudoin Jr., site owner, does not need consensus to set due dates, but usually informs the group of what's going on.

Listed below are the items that have due dates.

Project/Goal Date Due
In Process: Verify and generate needed Podcast Transcripts. Before June 2008. High priority.
Convert summaries into act-by-act breakdowns for all episode guides. Before January 2009. High priority
In Process: Organize, tag, and cross-reference every media file on the Media Wiki Before January 2009. High priority.
In Process: Developing Cast and Crew Articles. Before January 2008. Mid priority.
Expand on Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming Before January 2009. Low priority.
In Process: Develop how-to documentation for wiki-editing. No "due date". Low priority.

Discussions
Below are some discussions on the Battlestar Wiki that need some input.

ToDo List

Battlestar Wiki is the first online Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia ever to exist, and the greatest source of information about BSG (other than the series bible, which is not available to the public). However, that comes at a cost: many are stubs that need attention. If you like, go ahead, be bold and think your ideas, and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a Collaboration section and see where you can help out.
