==Computer networking articleArticle guidelines==

The general style guide for computing articles, [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Computing]], should be followed.

===Content===

====Common elements====

Line 75 ⟶ 69:

Here are a few ideas for how to organize articles. These do not necessarily have to correspond to the actual section headers and divisions, and they are no more than suggestions. Conform to them to help improve the article in question.

A protocol -specific article:

* History of the protocol

** Who started it

Line 85 ⟶ 79:

* Any related technical discussions (e.g., fragmentation and reassembly for [[IPv4]])

A hardware -specific article:

* What is it used for (what protocols, versions, etc.)

* Hardware features

Line 114 ⟶ 108:

==Tasks==

{{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|Computer networking}}

See*{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Computer networking articles needing expert attention}} articles in [[:Category:Computer networking articles needing expert attention]].

*[[Access network]]: This article might be of interest to the networking task force. Please consider triage.

*[[Interior Gateway Protocol]]: The link state vs. distance vector material is not appropriate here, because those ideas are not specific to IGPs. Maybe merge the remaining material (of which there is very little) into [[routing protocol]]? Or can people envision more material for this article? --[[User:Nethgirb|Nethgirb]] 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

* Tagging articles for the project in relevant categories.

* WP 1.0 Assessment of both quality and importance.

==Completed Tasks==

* Improving quality and getting a few articles to FA and GA articles.

* [[Routers]]

* Outreach : Attract new members who might be interested and possibly start a bi-monthly newsletter.

* [[Host (network)]]

*[[List of suggested topics for computer networking research]]: Not even sure what this is supposed to include. Items the reader should learn more about? Items Ph.D.s should be spending their time on? Possibly delete, (]]List of computer networking topics]] is gone) and expand greatly, producing an article in the style of [[List of computing topics]]. But keep in mind we already have [[List of Internet topics]]. --[[User:Nethgirb|Nethgirb]] 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
