Welcome to the free and open-source software task force, a project devoted to creating, improving, and maintaining articles related to free and open-source software (FOSS), and bringing them to good or featured article status. The scope of this project extends to articles about:
Always remember to follow Wikipedia conventions, and to be bold!
The FOSS task force is supported by WikiProject Software and WikiProject Computing.
Here are some tasks that have to be done constantly or to almost every article. Further down the page you'll find TODO lists with one-off tasks that need to be done.
Each article about a free and open-source software project should:
{{Portal|Free and open-source software}}
to the "See also" section or the last section of prose in the article body.{{Portal bar|Free and open-source software}}
to the bottom of the page.{{citation needed}}
to tag any unverified statementsThose tasks are the backlog of issues found by other task force members.
Make sure that your source meets the criteria for reliable sources, especially that they are not self-published (personal blogs, forums, etc.). This project develops its own list of useful, reliable sources and a custom search engine. Feel free to audit and improve the list with other reliable sources you can find.
Many articles containing phrases such as "free software licence" or "free software community", when it is usually better to link to "free software licence" and "free software community" instead of the main free software article.
